Help the Stevens Family After Tragic New Castle Accident

Donation protected
On the night of Aug 21, a horrific accident in New Castle, Delaware, claimed the lives of 29-year-old Karisma Stevens and her 10-year-old daughter, Zamiyah. This tragedy occurred when a speeding driver, fleeing a traffic stop, ran a red light and crashed into their family's minivan. The impact was so severe that the minivan flipped multiple times, tragically taking the lives of Karisma and Zamiyah at the scene.



Karisma's other children, who were also in the minivan, survived the crash but were hospitalized with injuries. One of them remains in critical condition at Nemours Children’s Hospital. This unimaginable loss has devastated the Stevens family, leaving them to cope with both the emotional and financial burdens that come with such a tragedy.

Karisma was a loving mother and a determined individual who had recently completed a program at Colorado Technical University, earning her associate's degree. She had a bright future ahead of her, one that was tragically cut short. Her mother, Yolanda Urena, and the rest of the family are now faced with the heart-wrenching task of planning funerals, supporting the surviving children, and dealing with mounting medical bills.

We are raising funds to help the Stevens family during this incredibly difficult time. The funds will go toward:

  • Funeral Expenses - To give Karisma and Zamiyah a proper farewell.

  • Medical Bills - For the treatment of Karisma's surviving children who were injured in the crash.

  • Support for the Family - To help cover the immediate needs and ongoing support for the family as they navigate life without their beloved Karisma and Zamiyah.

How You Can Help:

  • Donate: Any amount, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden on the Stevens family.

  • Share: Please share this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks to spread the word.

  • Support: Your thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement mean the world to the Stevens family during this time.

Updates:

We will keep this page updated with any new information regarding the family’s needs and how the funds are being utilized.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
