My name is Titania Heard, and I am reaching out for help after a tragedy that has changed our family forever. My beloved granddaughter, Ariyanna Parkmond, is just 11 years old. She is a bright, playful, and smart girl who loves playing her PlayStation 5, making music in her school band, and chatting with her friends on the phone. Ariyanna has a passion for hair and fashion, and she’s always been a straight-A student who brings so much joy to everyone around her.

Recently, our lives were turned upside down when Ariyanna and her mother, Jaelanya Heard, were in a devastating car accident. Tragically, Jaelanya lost her life, and Ariyanna suffered severe injuries, including multiple broken bones in her face, legs, and femur. She is currently in the ICU and will remain in the children’s hospital in Atlanta, GA, for months as she recovers. The pain of losing her mother while facing such a long and difficult recovery is unimaginable for a child.

We are raising funds to help cover Ariyanna’s extensive medical needs, including hospital care, rehabilitation, counseling, and the many trips back and forth to the doctor. She will need medical supplies, a new bed, clothing, and support as we work to find a new home for her. Every donation, no matter the size, will help us provide the best care and support for Ariyanna as she heals physically and emotionally. Thank you for your kindness and for helping us give Ariyanna hope for a brighter future.
