Mahogani is my dear friend, and she is facing a level of heartbreak and responsibility that no one should ever have to endure. Recently, Mahogani experienced the unimaginable loss of her baby, who died during birth. While she was still grieving, her mother suffered a brain aneurysm, leaving Mahogani to arrange cremations for both her baby and her mother. She is also caring for her four other children and is currently unable to work, all on her own.
The financial burden of cremation costs for both her baby and her mother is overwhelming. On top of that, Mahogani needs support for her children and household while she grieves and is unable to work. She is doing everything she can to stay strong for her family, but she cannot do it alone.
Your support means more than words can express. Every contribution, regardless of the amount, provides a sense of hope and relief during this incredibly difficult time. We are deeply moved by your kindness and are profoundly grateful for any way our community has stood by us. Thank you for your compassion and for keeping Mahogany and her family in your thoughts.
Heres A Note From Mahogani herself
On February 19, 2026, I delivered my daughter, Khaliyha, at 35 weeks. Due to blood clots in her umbilical cord, she was born sleeping. This loss has been one of the most painful experiences of my life.
During this time, my mother was my biggest source of support, helping me through my grief and caring for me and my children. Tragically, on March 24, 2026, I found my mother deceased in her home due to a brain aneurysm. Losing both my daughter and my mother within weeks of each other has been overwhelming, sudden, and deeply traumatic.
Because of my own medical recovery and the emotional toll of these losses, I am unable to return to work as quickly as I had planned. I have received some help from family to cover my mother’s cremation, but those expenses will need to be repaid, along with ongoing costs to care for my children and maintain stability during this time.
If you know me, you know I do everything I can to handle things on my own. Asking for help is not easy for me, but right now I am doing my best to stay strong for my children while navigating unimaginable grief.
Any support, whether through donations or simply sharing this, would mean more than I can express. Thank you for helping me and my children get through this incredibly difficult time.
