My name is Paris Givhan, I'm 27 years old, and I am the oldest of my 8 siblings.

Our family is heartbroken to share that my 12-year-old little brother, Kaliph, passed away unexpectedly Nov. 6 2025. Just earlier this year, in April, we lost his mother in a tragic car accident. Now, our family is once again faced with unimaginable loss.

Kaliph was a bright, joyful, and kind-hearted soul who brought laughter and love wherever he went. He had the biggest smile, a playful spirit, and a heart full of dreams.

Most of our family lives in Michigan, while our father and my three other siblings, who live in Cheyenne, Wyoming, are doing their best to process this devastating loss while trying to prepare for Kaliph's funeral and burial. We are reaching out for support to help cover funeral and burial expenses, so we can give him the peaceful farewell he deserves.

Any amount—no matter how small—means more than you know. Your kindness, prayers, and shares of this post will help our family through this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you all for your love, compassion, and support.
