A family grieving two sons lost to gun violence

Donation protected
3 months ago, Terri and Rodney Barnes lost their son Jelijah to gun violence. He was viciously gunned down in the drive way of the family home, ran inside for help where his mother held him as he laid dying in her arms. If that’s not bad enough, tragedy struck again 3 short months later . Their only remaining son along side his new girlfriend were gunned down and robbed near an atm machine. While the Barnes family was still grieving and paying off debt from the tragic murder of their first son, they are left with a whole new set of financial burdens from the 2nd murder. They have been unable to go home, as Jelijah died inside and the pain is too hard to go back. They still have remaining memorial cost, temporary lodging and food, ect. To add to this horrible tragedy Jamarion who made Rodney and Terry first time parents and grand parents leaves behind a 9 month old daughter who now will grow up without a dad who she was dependent on. As a community we need to wrap our arms around the Barnes family and help ease the financial stress left on this amazing family, if you’re unable to financially support we welcome all prayers .
