Téa's Burial Fund
Donation protected
I've had the privilege of knowing this family for several years. Ebony, Téa's mother, has been a blessing to our lives. On countless occasions, Ebony has served as a second mother to my 15 year old daughter - helping me with babysitting and other essential tasks while I juggle the responsibilities of a single mother. Téa, her firstborn, was a big sister to my daughter, and Téa's little sister has been my daughter's best friend since middle school. They are very close and have come to love one another.
On August 12, 2019, I received the news that Téa was missing, that her mother had not been able to reach her in about a week, as she had been missing since August 6, 2019. I was troubled and became very concerned. I called my dear friend Ebony to inquire about the circumstances surrounding the news of her disappearance. We talked for a while as she filled me in. Neither of us would have thought of Téa's story to be what it became in the span of fewer than 48 hours.
Since the story broke, many of us shared the posts that Ebony had written and posted on her Facebook page, while praying and wishing for Téa's safe return. Nevertheless, the outcome of Téa's story is one that no parent would have wanted for his or her child or children.
In the early morning hours of August 14, 2019, Ebony and her family learned that Téa, 19 years of age, has been murdered. Téa's dead body was found in a wooded area in DeKalb County. Undoubtedly, the lives of this family have been turned up-side-down. So, it is with humility that I am establishing this GoFundMe page asking for your financial help for Téa's funeral.
Ebony and her family has been a tremendous blessing in our lives; it is, unfortunate, that my support of her would be to establish a GoFundMe page to seek financial contributions for the burial of her firstborn, daughter. It is not the story we would have wanted, but it's one that God has allowed that we experience while relying on His infinite love.
No amount is too small. Every bit of your financial contribution is appreciated.
Thank you for your generosity!
