The post further mentioned,
“Saiveon was a shining light that was there for everyone who loved him. Father to a 10-month-old daughter, who adored him, he also helped his terminally ill mother care for his siblings. Due to the financial strain already placed on the family for Jeni’s medical care and the unexpected passing, I am wanting to help raise funds to relieve them of the financial burden during an already devastating time. Funerals can be costly and we would like to honor Saiveon in a way that he deserves. Please consider donating or sharing this link.”
