Support the Williams Family After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Dear friends and community,

Our Story

Imagine losing both the king and queen of your household within a year. That's the heartbreaking reality our family is facing. I'm Money Williams, and I'm reaching out during an unimaginably difficult time for my family.

On November 29th, 2023, while I was away playing basketball in Reno, Nevada, I received the devastating news of my father's passing. At just 18 years old, I was suddenly faced with the tough decision of whether to continue chasing my dreams or set them aside to support my family.

Now, just a year later, we've suffered another profound loss. Our mother, Latoya Bailey, peacefully passed away in her sleep on October 12th, 2024. This unexpected tragedy has left my siblings and me at a loss for words.

A Tribute to Our Mother

Our mother was more than just a caretaker; she was the heart and soul of the Williams family. She had a magic touch, turning simple moments into cherished memories and ordinary meals into feasts filled with laughter and warmth. When times were tough, she stretched every dollar, ensuring her children never felt the weight of struggle.

Through her actions, she taught all five of us the value of hard work, resilience, and the profound power of unconditional love. Every sacrifice she made was a testament to her fierce dedication. She inspired us to dream big, making the impossible seem possible.

As Tupac Amaru Shakur so eloquently put it:
> "Dear Mama, you are appreciated. When I was young, I didn't always understand, but I now recognize the countless sacrifices you made for me."

Our Current Situation

With the passing of both our parents, my older sister Mo'Ney and I have become responsible for our three younger siblings: Joanna, Jermaine, and Jeremiah Benson. The weight of this responsibility, coupled with our grief, is immense.

Why We Need Your Help

We've created this GoFundMe campaign to seek support as we navigate this challenging transition. Your contributions will help us:

1. Cover funeral expenses for our mother
2. Provide for our younger siblings' immediate needs
3. Ensure stability as we adjust to our new family dynamic
4. Support educational expenses for all siblings

A Message of Gratitude

We understand that times are tough for everyone, and there is no obligation to contribute. However, any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated and will make a significant difference in our lives.

To all the mothers out there who make sacrifices for their children: we see you, we appreciate you, and we love you. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us during this heartbreaking time.

With deep gratitude,
Money Williams & Mo'Ney Williams
