Honoring Yasin: Help Our Family in This Tragic Time
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,
We are the Morrison family, and we are facing an unbearable loss. On January 31, 2025, our beloved 9-year-old Yasin Morrison was tragically taken from us in a senseless act of violence. While on his way to visit his grandparents with his father and little sisters, a stray bullet struck Yasin—robbing us of his bright future in an instant. Our family is shattered beyond words, and we now face the heartbreaking reality of saying goodbye to our sweet boy.

About Yasin
Yasin was a beautiful soul—gentle, loving, and full of light. As a non-verbal autistic child, he had a unique way of expressing love, bringing joy to everyone around him. He adored Toy Story, The Incredibles, and chicken nuggets, and he was a wonderful big brother to his five siblings. His smile could brighten even the darkest days, and his presence filled our home with warmth.
No parent should ever have to bury their child. No sibling should have to experience such a loss. Our family is devastated, and we need your support to honor Yasin’s life and navigate this unimaginable tragedy.
Why We Need Your Help
We are raising funds to help with:
- Funeral and memorial expenses – Giving Yasin the beautiful farewell he deserves.
- Family support during this difficult time.
- Therapy and mental health services – Yasin’s siblings, who tragically witnessed this event, along with his parents, and extended family will need counseling to cope with this trauma and loss.
- Justice for Yasin – Ensuring his story is heard and supporting efforts to hold those responsible accountable.
How You Can Help
- Donate – Any amount makes a difference and helps ease the financial burden.
- Share – If you cannot donate, please share this page with friends, family, and on social media. Your voice can help us reach those who can support us.
- Pray & Support – Your love, prayers, and kind words mean the world to us.
This is an unbearable time for our family, but we are deeply grateful for any support you can offer. Your generosity will help us honor Yasin’s memory, provide healing for his siblings, and ensure no family has to endure this kind of pain alone.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.
With love and gratitude,
The Morrison Family
