Ellyonna is my cousin, and she’s always been a loving mother to her son, Khalil. Recently, their world was turned upside down when Khalil’s father, Eli, passed away. This loss has left a deep ache in their hearts, and they are now facing the unimaginable challenge of moving forward without him.

Ellyonna just bought a house to give her son a stable home, but she’s in a 90-day probation period at her new job and cannot take any time off. With a mortgage, car payments, and all the responsibilities of running a household, she is feeling completely overwhelmed. On top of her grief, she’s doing everything she can to care for Khalil and keep their lives as steady as possible.

The funds raised will help Ellyonna cover her bills and living expenses, giving her the space to grieve and care for her son without the immediate pressure of falling behind financially. Eli loved Ellyonna and Khalil more than the world. Sometimes sadness overtakes a person and you can’t help them. Any support you can give will help this family find some peace and stability during an incredibly hard time.
