Justice for Tamara Rowe — A life taken too soon

Justice for Tamara — A life brutally taken.

With broken hearts, we share the devastating and tragic loss of Tamara Rowe, a vibrant 40-year-old Jamaican mother of two, who was brutally beaten and stabbed six times in her chest and arm by her boyfriend in Wakefield, Bronx.

Tamara’s death was not just a tragedy — it was a horrific act of domestic violence that has left her family reeling, and her two young daughters without their mother. She suffered in her final moments in a way no one ever should, and we are left not only to grieve her loss, but to fight for her memory and her dignity.

Tamara was more than how she died — she was loyal, honest, hardworking, and deeply loving. She was a devoted mother who sacrificed daily to give her daughters a better life. She was a dedicated worker, a faithful friend, and a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. Her love was constant, her smile infectious, and her strength unmatched.

Now, her daughters are left without the woman who loved them most. Our family is grieving the violent and unimaginable loss of someone who should still be here.

As we come to terms with this unbearable tragedy, we are asking for your help to bring Tamara home to Jamaica, where she was born and where she deserves to be laid to rest in peace.

Your donations will go toward:

Funeral and burial costs

Transporting Tamara’s body to Jamaica

Support and care for her two grieving daughters

Counseling and healing resources for her family

No amount is too small. Every contribution helps us honor Tamara’s life, and ensures her children receive the care, stability, and support they need after such an unthinkable loss.

We also ask that you help us raise awareness about domestic violence, which so often hides in silence. Tamara deserved protection. She deserved love. She deserved time.

Please keep her daughters, and all who loved her, in your prayers. We are deeply grateful for your compassion, your generosity, and your solidarity in this time of heartbreak.

With love and thanks,

Lotanya – Tamara’s Cousin
