Children’s College Fund and Suicide Prevention

Ride to Prevent Suicide

My name is Tilmon Keaton and I’m starting this GoFundMe to raise money for my nieces and nephews’ future education after the tragic loss of their parents in 2021 and 2022.

Everything changed in June of 2021 and life truly hasn't been the same since. This is when I began to understand stress and anxiety in a completely new way.

In August of 2021, my younger brother Ticari passed. Following that, my family had to navigate multiple deaths and near-death experiences in 7 months, including my niece and sister being in a nearly fatal car accident in February 2022 and the passing of a second brother 3 weeks later.

I have 4 nieces and 2 nephews who lost parents, as well as a niece who was in a nearly fatal car accident where she had to learn to walk and talk again, so I’m taking the step to open up college funds for them to get started on their education journey.

In an effort to bring awareness to this cause and suicide prevention, I’ll be completing a bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles beginning October 14th. My hope is I can raise the funds to help set my nieces and nephews up for their future while also bringing awareness to prevent suicide by creating a documentary. My family has been through a lot these past few years, so I’ll do whatever I can to bring peace and hope for the future.
