Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

I am writing on behalf of my sister in law and my 23yr old nephew.

Last week my nephew De’kiah was involved in a tragic event. De’kiah is known in the family as a big teddy bear. He is fiercely protective of his sister, Dacia, his twin nieces, mom and the rest of his family.

De’kiah is currently in life support and Shannon is having to make the hardest decisions in her life. The medical bills alone are going to be astronomical and though we are praying for the best outcome, it seems funeral expenses are impending. Shannon has not been able to work due to being at De’Kiah’s bedside constantly.

We are humbly asking for help for Shannon and her family. Any amount you can offer will be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to help financially, we ask that you share this in hopes of helping.

Thank you for any support you can give our family,

Katina Smith
