Urgent: Funeral Expenses For Kaylin's After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
My heart aches as I share the devastating loss of my beloved daughter, Kaylin Akiyah Howard. Born on February 29th, 1996, Kaylin's vibrant life was tragically cut short on January 28th, 2025, just seven months into her pregnancy. She was a beacon of light, a sweet, fun-loving, and outgoing soul who touched the lives of everyone she met.

Kaylin's greatest joy in life was her three  beautiful children, whom she adored with all her heart. She was a devoted mother, pouring all her love and energy into nurturing and caring for them. She had so many dreams, so much potential. This year, she was on track to graduate from beauty school, a goal she worked tirelessly towards. Her passion for beauty and her artistic talent shone brightly, and we were all so excited to see her achieve her dreams. Sadly, those dreams will now remain just that – dreams, cruelly snatched away far too soon.

The pain of losing Kaylin is immeasurable. The suddenness of her passing has left our family reeling, struggling to comprehend this unimaginable loss. To compound our grief, Kaylin did not have life insurance. As we navigate this heartbreaking time, we are faced with the daunting reality of funeral and burial expenses.

We are reaching out to our community, to anyone whose heart is touched by Kaylin's story, to ask for your support. We understand that times are difficult for many, but any contribution, no matter how small, will make a profound difference in helping us give Kaylin the dignified farewell she deserves. Your generosity will alleviate some of the financial burden we now face, allowing us to focus on cherishing the memories of the beautiful, vibrant young woman we were blessed to call daughter, mother, sister, and friend.

Kaylin's children have lost their mother, and we have lost a piece of our hearts that will never be replaced. Please help us honor her memory and lay her to rest with the love and respect she so richly deserves. Your kindness during this incredibly difficult time will be forever appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
