Help stand with Ariyah's Family in Grief

Heaven truly must’ve needed another angel, as our beautiful 5yr old daughter

Ariyah Marie Elias was tragically killed on December 26th 2024

As much as we’ve tried there’s no making sense of this, and there never will be. Attempting to put it into words does not make it any less brutal. A perfect little girl, our baby, just gone, because the world decided to show its teeth and bite down hard that night. We’ll forever feel the weight of this through everything, the rage, the grief, the helplessness. It’s been unbearable, and yet here we are, carrying it because we have no choice but to stay strong for our Princess!

What happened on that wide stretch of road, with the lights changing and the world spinning out of control, wasn’t fair, it wasn’t right. No words can or will ever fix this, and no justice can or will ever even the scales. All we know is that our love for Ariyah is still as clear as the sun, and even through this nightmare, she’s still perfect, she’s still ours, and our love for her will never fade.
