Destiny Burks

My name is Jared Boggan and I’m 20 years old. Destiny Burks, a 14 year old girl, is my little cousin who I hold very close to my heart. I lost Destiny and I never thought she would be the person I’d lose especially under these circumstances. I want to raise these funds to be able to bring everyone together and celebrate her life. She doesn’t deserve what she went through, she was just a little girl. I love her with all my heart so if you could please show some love I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello my names Patience Burks and I’m 15 years old. Destiny Burks is my lil sister, she’s a year younger than me. Even though she and I are nothing alike and we had our differences, she was still my sister and I’ll miss her tons! I’ll miss having her annoy me and miss her trying to cheer me up when I’m crying. She got along with so many people and had so many friends that loved her tons!! I’ve known her my entire life and it will be weird without her here with me and everyone else!! I care for her so much and I really hope she’s happy where she is though I would be happy if she was here with us still. We will all miss you tons!! I hope she knows that!! <3

"In loving memory of our beloved niece, Destiny, Burks, whose brilliance and beauty illuminated the world around her. Though her time with us was far too short, she left an indelible mark on our hearts and souls. As we gather to say our farewells, we are determined to honor her memory with a final tribute befitting the profound beauty of her life. Your compassionate contributions will help us provide the services and cremation she deserves, creating a lasting testament to the love she brought into our lives.

In addition to commemorating her, we also wish to raise awareness about the devastating impact of suicide on children and teenagers. Let us join hands to shed light on this pressing issue, offering support, understanding, and resources to those who may be struggling. Together, we can foster a world where young lives are cherished, and the darkness of despair is replaced by hope and healing."
