Georta Mack Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
My name is Mario Strayhorn. My 1st cousin is Aiden Strayhorn. He's  only 3 years old and was very close with  his Uncle Georta Mack. Georta Mack was shot accidently by his father on January 12th.  

When Georta left for school, his father fell back to sleep thinking he was alone in the house. He awoke with sounds of an intruder coming from the basement.  At 6 o'clock in the morning, in a tough neighborhood, his father fired a shot at who he thought was an intruder in his basement. To his disbelief, he discovered he shot  his youngest son, 14 year old Georta Mack.  

You can hear the pain in the father's voice while talking to the 911 operator pleading for them to send help.  He held Goerta in his arms while his son struggled to breathe. 

Goerta Mack died from a bullet wound to the neck and was pronounced dead at the hospital. 

No father should bury their 14 year old son, especially under these circumstances. My baby cousin Aiden has a hard time understanding Georta is never coming over to play with him anymore.  

I come before you humble asking for donations for funeral expenses,  during this time of turbulence. Whatever you can spare is a blessing and thank you in advance.

Please share this page as well as pray for the entire Strayhorn and Mack family. 

Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

Amen
