Help honor Rhelda's Memory with Your Kindness

Donation protected
Dear family, friends, and kind-hearted people,

The road has been long, anxious, and very difficult. My name is Xavier, and my family and I are extremely broken-hearted as we announce the passing and tragic loss of my mom, Rhelda Bell. For many years, she fought against CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) and a myriad of other ailments, including but not limited to arthritis, kidney disease, and eyesight issues. For the most part, she had been confined to her walker and wheelchair, but despite the challenges of her condition, my mom never let it define her. She continued to touch the lives of countless people through her wisdom, voice, care of the kids, and the pureness of her heart.

A devoted mom, loving sister, caring aunt, and very supportive friend, my mom was such an amazing person, as she would always think of ways to help others out, especially if they were with child. See, my mom LOVES her babies, grandbabies, great-grandbabies... and other people's babies. She would go out of her way to make sure they had an assortment of items placed into a 'baby bag' (big happy birthday bag). Oh... and I'd be the one to assist her on EVERY ONE of those lol. She truly loved those kids.

In this most humbling time, my family and I are requesting your help and assistance. Only a month ago, we lost my big sister, and we have not fully recovered from that at all. I am trying to secure funeral costs and arrangements and help with medical expenses, as she was in ICU for a few days. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help me, my family, and ultimately my mom, Rhelda, with an ease of transition in this great ordeal. Your contribution would be immensely grateful and oh so appreciated.

Even if you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others who may be able to further help. Your prayers, love, and support mean the world to us.

Please keep my mom, my amazing brothers, lil sister, and rest of the family in your prayers and thoughts, as she makes the ascension to the salvation of heaven. Your love, support, and generosity will provide her with the pure aura of divinity to carry on the legacy of love and healing for my family and our friends.

Thank you for being part of her story and for helping me do this for my mom in this time of need.
