On March 11, 2026, my life changed forever. I lost my partner, Cleavon White. My children lost their father. Cleavon leaves behind me and our five babies, ages 7, 6, 5, 3, and just 1 and a half. They are still so young. They still need everything. And right now, I’m doing my best to hold them together while trying to hold myself together too.

Cleavon was a good father. He loved his children deeply. Despite his struggles with mental health, he showed up for us and did everything he could. He was the sole provider for our family. Now he’s gone. I am grieving while also trying to figure out how to survive without him. I’m facing the reality of raising five children on my own, in the same space where he took his last breath. That’s something I’m still trying to process every single day.

I’m asking for help as I try to navigate this new reality. The support will go toward keeping a roof over our heads, caring for my children, and helping us begin to heal and transition into a life without Cleavon. This is not easy for me to ask, but I know I cannot do this alone. If you are able to give, thank you. If you can share this, that means just as much. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me take care of my children during the hardest time of our lives.
