My name is Isaiah Barron and I am raising money for my sister Keisha Martin.

 On August 15, 2026, what was supposed to be a joyful celebration of family, unity, and neighborhood pride at East End Day in Charles Young Park, turned into a heartbreaking tragedy. A mass shooting erupted during the event, leaving one young life lost and several others injured, including my sister Keisha Martin who was shot twice.

 Families were simply there to enjoy the day with loved ones. Today, she is facing a long road of recovery, rehabilitation, and healing — physically, emotionally, and financially.

 Because of her injuries, she is not able to work right now, and have bills and medical expenses piling up. Rehab will take time. Stability will take support. And that’s why we’re asking our community — our village — to stand with her.

All funds will help cover:

• Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
• Temporary loss of income
• Mortgage and essential living expenses
• Transportation for medical appointments

 My sister didn’t deserve this. No family at that celebration deserved this. But together, we can help her get through it. Every donation — big or small — makes a difference.

 If you can give, please do. If you can share, please share.

 Thank you for showing love, compassion, and strength during this difficult time.
