Supporting a mother of 2 who lost her life in the custody of Berkeley MO Police Department.
We are devastated to inform you all on August 30, 2024 a beloved mother Sionna White was detained by Berkeley MO Police Department for minor infractions around 4:00pm. Shortly after Sionna began to beg for medical attention due to medical complications. Sionna cried and pleaded for help for 9 hours until someone from Berkeley MO Police Department finally decided to transport her to the nearest hospital, During this time Sionna was in a responsive state.
When Sionna arrived at the local hospital she was checked in by Berkeley MO Police Department in handcuffs. Sionna was eventually given some care and medications but unfortunately a short time later Sionna went into cardiac arrest and was given some forms of CPR and Defibrillator and was not able to survive. Shortly after Sionna was pronounced dead..
At this time the Family is asking the community to come together to help take some stress and financial burden of funeral cost away. We know this small gesture will only relieve some of the stress during this sad time. As she leaves behind 2 beloved children ages 10 and 19.
This neglectful situation is far from over! It really
saddens are hearts to know that she was neglected, ignored, and mistreated by officers that’s supposed to protect and serve our community.
Any donation you can give, no matter how big or small will be gratefully received.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness
