Arson victim Janayrah I. Rivera

This is probably one of the hardest things my family have had to do… my family is reaching out to relatives, friends and the community for your help. October 16, 2023 my youngest sister Nany was involved in a tragic incident…. Nany has had her life taken away by a 2nd alarm structure fire that had started on the porch of my grandmothers home at 5 in the morning in Springfield,Ma…. Nany was stuck in her room, which was above the porch. When fire fighters arrived, she was brought to Baystate medical center with serious burn injuries… due to these injuries, Janayrah passed away at the hospital.

Janayrah , known as Nany (our family nickname for her) turned 18 in May. She was a 2023 graduate of Putnam High School and was pursuing her career in Early Childhood as a Daycare teacher at New Horizon Daycare. Nany was a funny, spontaneous, bright young lady and she loved her family and was ready for her future outside of high school…

we are asking for your help to get her out of the medical examiners office and have her funeral as soon as possible, so my family can mourn the loss of our youngest sister… times are tough right now and asking for money is something I wish we did not have to do… but we are asking for everyone’s prayers and help during this hard time.

Please… we ask for anyone’s help in burying my baby sister properly..

WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL AND ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER….. ANY DONATIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS WILL GO TO MY OTHER SISTER JANAIYAH WHO WAS ALSO INVOLVED. SHE IS IN THE ICU BURN UNIT IN BOSTON!!!! THEY HAVE CONFIRMED SHE NEEDS 3-4 SKIN GRAPH SURGERIES FOR HER 3RD DEGREE BURNS!! PLEASE ANYTHING HELPS AND KEEP JANAIYAH IN YOUR PRAYERS WHILE SHE GOES THROUGH THIS JOURNEY OF RECOVERY AND MOURNING THE LOSS OF HER BABY SISTER AND BEST FRIEND.
