Hi, I am Natajia McDowell, daughter of the beloved Tyieshia McDowell, a mother of 2 and grandparent of 1, whose life tragically ended in a violent crime. A wrong place, wrong time moment that changed the lives of her family forever. My mom was an innocent bystander at a gas station, sitting in her vehicle with myself and two others, when a turn of events nearby ended up in a shootout, and she was caught in the crossfire, getting struck in the head. I am truly traumatized from the events that night, and things will never be the same.

I am starting this GoFundMe to alleviate any more stress during this difficult time for my family. Many people have reached out to show their love and support from all around the world, and we express the greatest gratitude to everyone! I love y'all!
