On April 24th 2023 Sunny beautiful day around 7 pm from my daughter that her brother was shot in the back of his head while he was sleeping by his live in girlfriend. they have rushed my son to fort Lewis joint McCord Air Force Base that's where his father was stationed at and retired from. the police the fire department the surgeons the doctors did everything they could to save my son but he was brain dead and the outburst of the cries so loud that came out of me I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy or a Mother to lose their son or daughter horrific tragic the way.

I had to make that decision to pull the plug and that's something I had a hard time doing after 12:00 midnight I called family together and a priest and we stood around his bed and said I found a goodbyes I still haven't really gotten over it yet. He passed away at the age of 34 he had a long life ahead of him I promise in future as a rapper the singer producer he loved spending time with his two sons the age of 10 and 14 that he was raising as a single father and now I'm left with a grief of my two grandsons that still acts and why this had to happen to their father and I have no answers I just told my grandsons it was called home early her today 3 months later August 18th 2023 I lost my other son at the age of 30 he was laced with fentanyl and his body was left there at a bus transit center where the bus driver found him on the ground so I was hit pretty hard in 2023 with the loss of two sons not only did I lose two sons I lost my home at the same time with me my daughter and my two grand boys rig been living on the streets out of her car and can't seem to get help anywhere in Tacoma Washington I have no family in Washington it's just my daughter me and my two grandsons we once was it the typical family we had a home my grandkids going to school my daughter had a job until all this happened it's been really hard trying to get back on our feet and get back into a place where we can call home we just asking our community family and friends if they can please donate to the cause of helping us get back into a home I would appreciate it so much I never been so depressed in my life nor have I ever been homeless before this is something I wouldn't want no one to go through especially if they have children disabled are only have one income and that's SSI of 967 and that's not enough to get me into my own place with a little bit of help the community and family are friends what would be really grateful if we receive the support and help
