Justice for Qwentin: A Mother’s Fight for Her Son’s Life

A single mom battling an unjust system—help us secure the legal defense he deserves.

“No mother should have to beg for justice for her child, but today, that’s exactly what I’m doing.”

My name is Tara Smith and I am a single mother of three beautiful children. Today, I am reaching out with a heavy heart because my family is facing something no parent should ever experience.

My son, Qwentin, is currently in Calcasieu Parish Jail, and the injustice happening to him is heartbreaking. I’ve done everything I can on my own, but I’ve reached a point where I can’t fight this battle without help. My son deserves a fair chance, and that means having a strong lawyer who will stand up for his rights and fight for the truth.

This situation has not only shaken me to my core—it’s deeply affecting my two little girls. They are innocent, yet every day they feel the pain, fear, and uncertainty of what’s happening to their big brother. Our home, once full of laughter, is now filled with tears and questions I can’t answer.

I’ve always tried to be strong for my children, but I cannot do this alone. Hiring an attorney is costly, and as a single mom doing my best to provide for my kids, I simply don’t have the means. That’s why I am humbly asking for your support.

Your donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward securing the legal representation my son desperately needs. You’re not just helping me pay for a lawyer—you’re giving my son hope, restoring peace to my little girls, and helping us fight for justice in a system that too often overlooks families like mine.

If you can’t donate, please share this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to us during this painful time.

Thank you for listening to our story, for caring, and for standing with us in this fight.

With love and gratitude,
Tara Smith a mother who refuses to give up!
