My name is Zetta Williams, and I am a widow that currently has full custody of all my grandchildren. My heart is shattered beyond words. On Christmas Day, my 13-year-old granddaughter, Emony Nicole Jackson, had her life taken here in Orlando by a 15-year-old boy. She was full of light, laughter, and love — and now she’s gone far too soon.

I am an elderly grandmother doing my best to hold my family together after unimaginable tragedy. I have custody of all five of my grandchildren after losing their mother — my daughter — and their younger sister in a fiery car accident not long ago. Now, I am faced with the heartbreaking task of burying another precious child.

The emotional pain is unbearable, and the financial burden is overwhelming. I am trying to provide my grandchildren with love, stability, and healing through this grief, but the cost of funeral arrangements and all that comes with it is something I simply cannot shoulder alone.

After several requests from family and friends wanting to donate, I have humbly created a GoFundMe. Whether through a donation or by sharing this page — so I can give my sweet granddaughter the dignified farewell she deserves. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go toward funeral expenses and helping this family stay on our feet during this devastating time.

Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate yet another unimaginable loss. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, love, and support.

With gratitude,

Zetta Williams
