Losing my brother, Dawit , has left a pain in my heart that words can barely hold. His presence brought joy, strength, and comfort into my life, and the memories we created together remain precious beyond measure. Even in this grief, I cling to the truth that God is close to the brokenhearted and carries us when we feel too weak to stand.

I take comfort knowing that Dawit now rests in God’s eternal peace, free from all suffering. I trust that the same God who wipes away every tear will one day reunite us again. Until that day, his love continues to live in my heart, in every quiet thought, and in every moment that reminds me of the beautiful life he lived.

Dear friends, family, and community,

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved brother, Dawit Hailu-Mitiku. His loss has brought tremendous heartbreak to our family, and we are doing everything we can to honor his life with the dignity and respect he deserves. As we prepare his funeral arrangements, we are reaching out to our community for support during this difficult time.

We are seeking to raise $10,000 to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. Any contribution no matter the size will help lift a tremendous burden from our family as we navigate this unexpected tragedy. For those who are unable to give, your prayers, kind words, and sharing of this campaign are just as appreciated.

Thank you for your love, support, and compassion. May God bless each of you for standing with us during this painful moment.

With gratitude,

The Family of Dawit Hailu-Mitiku
