Hello, my name is Diavian. On the morning of December 22nd, 2021, my oldest nephew found my oldest sister, his mother in her bed unresponsive. He immediately called my brother and my brother told him to call 911. When officers arrived at their home, she was pronounced dead. As of right now the cause is still unknown. This is a very difficult time right before the holidays for all of us but especially her kids. My sister’s kids were all she had. She loved them deeply. They went through the struggle together and was never separated from one another. From having to leave houses she lived in the past, to having to come stay with me, my younger brothers and my mom,  to being placed in shelters. I knew my sister was hurting and stressed from it all but she remained so strong and she was solid through it all. I miss her so much if it was a way I can tell her I love her one more time, I’ll say it thousands of times. I always told my family, I can’t wait to make it in life so I can take care of all of them and change all of our living situations. I just wished god could’ve waited a little longer so she could’ve got a chance to see that life I envisioned of giving them. There were plenty of times my sister didn’t have any money but she still made sure to come through for her children's birthday parties, Christmas gifts, school clothes, toys randomly to just spoil them, and even thanksgiving dinner. I remember she called me two days before thanksgiving to tell me she was going to make dinner and I can stop by, she didn’t have all the food but she was going to figure out how to get it all. She still made sure to give them a thanksgiving dinner. I’m so hurt because i didn’t even get a chance to make it to her house for the dinner because i was so many places at one time . I swear i regret it so bad.
 
I’m making this fundraiser because my mom will be taking in her grandchildren and with it being a struggle already for my mom, I don’t want her have to struggling with my sister’s kids. I want her to be able to give them a better life than the one they had. Life’s really be rough for all of them. My nieces and nephew needs new clothes, uniform clothes, school supplies and a bigger house. My mom lives in a 3 bedroom house and I have two siblings that already live with her. This isn’t the first time my nieces and nephews will be living there but I want this go around to be a little more easier for them. With the support and love from you guys, I hope they’d be able to get into a bigger houses so they can be comfortable and have their space during this time instead of having to sleep on the couches in the house or any air beds and sleeping bags. They already got used to having a bed finally to themselves for the first time in a long time. I’d hate for them to have to go through this again especially with the emotions I know that’s weighing heavy on their chest. No amount of money can fill that whole In their little Hearts but trying to give them a better life altogether is what they need and I know it’ll make a difference. My mom lives in Camden NJ which is a tough place to grow up in. Hopefully we can raise enough money so they will be straight and have enough money so they would never look to turn to the streets or destroy themselves. Let’s get them into a better environment.
 
Any donations will go to the funeral /burial costs and to help my mom support my sister’s seven children.
