T'Yonna Major

My name is Tokiyo. On February 22, 2023, the unthinkable happened. Our home was invaded by an unknown armed person. Our beloved 9 year-old daughter, T'yonna, had just come home from her elementary school. While my wife, Brandi, T'Yonna's mother was in the bedroom, resting before her night job, the armed intruder came in our back door. When he saw T'Yonna he shot my beautiful daughter, for no reason at all. As T'Yonna ran to her mother, her mother sought to protect her, shielding her. The monster kept firing and shot T'Yonna again and he shot my beautiful wife as well. Senseless gun violence has taken the life of my little girl, T'Yonna Major. She was a light to everyone that knew her. She was everything to us. We are heartbroken.

She was a great student at the top of her 3rd grade class and reading at a 5th grade level. She was outgoing as well as an amazing gymnast. As her teachers would say" The next Gabby Douglas. We are trying to raise money for funeral costs , a memorial for T'Yonna, therapy for our family and funds to help us get through this difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness. Our hearts also go out to the other victims in this tragedy. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We thank you for your support.
