I come to you all with a heavy heart for the lost of my nephew Karnell (aka Nelly ) to a hard battle fighting sickle cell disease. Nelly has been a battling sickle cell since birth and has endured tremendous obstacles such as countless hospitalizations for crises. Despite this tragic illness Karnell was an amazing kid filled with joy and laughter played sports,a big brother, cousin and amazing son. As the parents navigate this unbearable grief, they are facing additional financial burdens compounding the sorrow during such a painful time. My heart breaks for them as they face every parent’s worst nightmare. To help support them, I’ve set up this fundraiser campaign to raise funds to cover the costs of the funeral expenses. Any contribution, big or small, will help alleviate some of the financial stress and allow my sister and his father to focus on celebrating their son’s life as they go through the process of grieving this great loss. If you’re able to donate, please know that your support means the world to our family during this difficult time.
