Help us raise money for Randee and Joycelyn

Dear Friends and Kind Souls,

My heart reaches out to you today with a plea wrapped in hope and solidarity. I am Amanda, and I carry a story that is both heartbreaking and urgent. Yesterday, a devastating event shattered the peace of a dear high school friend when her precious 7-year-old daughter, Joycelyn, was struck by a stray bullet while playing innocently outside.

At this very moment, little Joycelyn is bravely fighting for her life in surgery. The path ahead is fraught with uncertainty, but one thing is painfully clear: she will need her mother by her side, now more than ever. With three other young ones in their family, the burden of medical expenses and the necessity for her mother to take time off work is a towering challenge.

We often witness the harshness of the world, yet I believe in the power of collective compassion to bring light during the darkest times. A contribution, as modest as a single dollar, can weave together a tapestry of support that envelops a family in their hour of need. Your generosity can serve as a tender embrace and a beacon of relief for them.

If you find yourself unable to donate, I kindly ask for your prayers and positive thoughts. They are invaluable treasures that can uplift a weary heart. Although I have never had the joy of meeting Joycelyn in person, her vibrant spirit shines through her photographs, revealing a young soul who is nothing short of a warrior.

Please, let us join hands in helping this family navigate through their storm. Your support, in any form, is a testament to the love and kindness that humanity is capable of.

With heartfelt gratitude and hope,

Amanda ❤️
