Hi, my name is Tamara and I am Aalyiah's aunt. My sister Ayah and I were pregnant with our 15 year olds at the same time and raised our children together. Her children are like my children, and my children are like hers, and I was the first to receive my sister's hysterical call after the school called her and told her my niece was struck in a hit and run.

The person who struck my niece was turned into police by her family and is being arraigned Dec. 22nd. We are glad that this part of Aaliyah's story has a happy ending.

Lee Lee is being transported to children's hospital today because her MRI found excessive brain damage on the left side of her brain. She will see a pediatric specialist to find out what her brain activity is like and what this journey will be like from here. This will be a long road ahead for my family.

Family and friends, old and new, are praying that Aalyiah wakes up. They will be able to assess what she needs once she does. Please pray for Lee Lee and use the hashtag #WakeUpLeeLee or #WakeUpAalyiah so that we can see your beautiful prayers and can read them to Aalyiah while she's still sleeping.

Ayah is a single parent of two, her son Caleb is 6 years old and needs Ayah's care and attention constantly. All of my sister's energy is trained on Aalyiah coming back to her, and Caleb needs her too.

She recently got a job that she really loves with a manager who is really caring, but this will only last so long. Members of my church, Oakland Christian Church, suggested that I open this page for my sister to be sure her community can help her lift some of the burdens in her day to day life while she is by Aalyiah's side.

Anything you provide, prayers, kind words, positivity, and showings of love of any kind will be such a blessing to her and her kids.

Thank you for your encouragement, inspiration, prayers, and support.

Love,

Tamara Rasheed
