Brandi, my dear friend, experienced an unimaginable tragedy last night when her son was taken from her in a senseless act of gun violence. Cj was only 19. The most sweestes boy with a smile that would light up the whole room. It was completely unexpected, a wrong place, wrong time situation that has left her family devastated and searching for answers. Brandi has always been a loving mother and friend, and seeing her go through this heartbreak is something no one should ever have to endure.

In the midst of this pain, Brandi is faced with the overwhelming task of laying her son to rest and supporting her family through the grief. The thought of expenses is more than anyone should have to bear alone. By coming together, we can help ease some of the burden and show Brandi that she is surrounded by a caring community.

Any support is greatly appreciated. Anything and everything helps. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference for Brandi and her family as they navigate this difficult time.
