The Jayana Fund #LilSnackie

Donation protected
9 months ago, out of an act of hate and jealously, the man that my sister, myself, and so many others loved was stolen from us. Amin Shahin Shakur, also known as Sha, Shawn or Snackie Chan, was brutally murdered in cold blood while working late at one of the shops he and his best friend Spensir had opened in South Vancouver. Sha was a beloved, good spirited member of the community with an unparalleled energy. Sha inspired people with his positive attitude, hard working ethic, love for others, and dedication to his and Spensir’s businesses. He did not deserve anything like this to happen to him.

One thing we did not know at the time, was while Sha’s spirit was leaving his body that tragic night inside Dank Mart, a few blocks away another part of him was hard at work. In a car filled with tears waiting for answers on the other side of police tape sat a very shocked, very confused, and soon to be very sad loved one with a miracle taking place inside her. One week previous to Sha’s murder, at his 30th birthday celebration in Squamish BC, a baby was conceived. Today, 280 days later, Jayana Sativa Shakur McElroy was born. 

This baby is beyond a miracle. A little piece of Sha for us all to cherish for a lifetime. I’m sure Sha is somewhere peaceful watching over Jaya and Santana smiling ear to ear. I trust that he is doing everything he can do to protect his girls from the cruel side that this world has to offer. 

With that being said, there is only so much an angel can do to help his family. The rest is up to them, and any of us willing to help out. My family and I will do everything we can to provide my sister and niece the life Sha would have provided for them, but we need your help. Please support and share this go fund me in honour of Sha’s legacy. Together let us do our best to create the life for his family that he would have, if he were still here today. Anything you can contribute helps pay for food, diapers, clothing, bills, education,  and all other costs a father would usually be able to help his family with. Together we can help a single mother provide the life that her baby deserves. Even if you cannot afford to spare any money, please share this on all social media platforms for others to see. Together let’s give Jayana the life she deserves, in her fathers honour.
