On June 15th, 2025, my beloved daughter Tatyana Poole-Ross gained her wings at just 30 years old, leaving behind her two precious daughters, Zariah (8) and Zaniyah (4). Tatyana was a sweet, charismatic young woman whose smile could light up any room. She was my first real-life baby doll, and our bond was so close that when she cried, I cried too. We were meant to raise her beautiful girls together, but now I am left to carry on her legacy and care for them in her absence.

Tatyana loved her daughters deeply and was devoted to giving them the best life possible. Zariah is heading into third grade, and Zaniyah will soon start Pre-K. Both girls attend dance school, and I want to ensure they continue to have the opportunities their mother dreamed for them. They will need counseling to help them process this loss, as well as support for school supplies and future educational needs. Your support will help cover funeral expenses for Tatyana and provide for her daughters as they grow, learn, and heal.

There will never be a day, month, or second that I don’t miss Tatyana. I am truly blessed to have her daughters, who carry so much of her light within them. Any help you can give will honor Tatyana’s memory and help me give Zariah and Zaniyah the love and support they need during this difficult time.
