Assist with Ms. Legrand's Funeral Costs

Donation protected
Hi Everyone, my name is Shaunte Styles and I am looking for your support to assist in the funeral arrangements for Ms. Legrand's memorial service. Born in Elizabeth NJ, Ms. Legrand was surrounded by a huge amount of close family and friends. She had two sons and raised them as a single mother, sadly, Ms. Legrand lost her sister who she loved dearly and took on the role of being a second mother to her nieces and nephews. Soon she would bury her oldest son, following her brother, and afterwards her mother who rumored to have passed away from a broken heart due to the massive lost the family was experiencing decreasing the family size to only Ms. Legrand and her only living son Khalif James. Now Ms. Legrand has joined her loved ones on Monday November 4, 2024. Her last living son Khalif James is currently incarcerated and close from his transition home. However, he cannot handle all of his affairs where he is located which is Bayside State Correctional Facility in Leesburg, NJ. We are asking for your support in donating funds towards the memorial and repass arrangements. This is a very difficult time for Khalif who is now alone and is incarcerated and navigating this difficult challenge especially during the upcoming holidays. As Khalif would say " I just want to have a beautiful home going service for my mother, even if I'm not there". I would like to attend my mother's memorial but it will be costly transportation from the NJDOC. If he cannot attend the service, he just needs help with the homegoing service.
Just a little background on Khalif who is serving a 30 year sentence for his involvement of a crime that he did not actually do but what the state of NJ called "accomplice liability". I would also ask that you contact Bayside State Prison at (856) [phone redacted] and ask your call to be directed to the parole department and ask to speak to his parole counselor Ms. Bailey. Ask Ms. Bailey how can we request an early release for an individual who ha had no behavioral infractions, a model inmate, graduated with Suma Cum Laude Honors from Ratigan University in October 2023 and was enrolled in Rutgers University to receive his Bachelors as well as The President of the Lifers Group and has completed 92% of his time and lost all of his family members while incarcerated.
Any donations big or small will be greatly appreciated, and I would like to personally thank each and everyone of you for your support and donations.
