Maliki is asking for support for Elaine Smith, Maliki’s mom, and in honor of Maliki’s grandfather, Robert Eugene Smith. Robert’s passing has left a deep pain in the hearts of everyone who loved him. During his illness, Elaine stayed home full time to care for him, giving her time, energy, and love so he could be surrounded by family. Now that he has passed, the family is facing not only heartbreak, but also the weight of the expenses that come after such a loss. They are hoping for help with cremation costs so they can relieve some of the immediate stress and have the time and space to properly grieve.
Any support for this fundraiser will help Elaine and the family cover Robert Eugene Smith’s cremation expenses, storage for his property and collectables, and the remaining costs tied to his house so the family can keep the home where they shared so many memories together. This home means so much because it holds the moments, love, and history they built as a family. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean so much during this difficult time. Thank you for helping Maliki’s family honor Robert Eugene Smith, support Elaine Smith, and hold on to a place that means so much to them.
