Tears welled up in my eyes as I stood by her grave, feeling an immense pain that words could never fully express. My daughter Selena, with a heart full of love and dreams so vast they often overwhelmed us both, was gone—taken too soon from this world on September 8th, 2023. The man responsible for her tragic end is her ex-partner, an Air Force servicemember who had once sworn to protect rather than harm.

This wasn't just any story; it was our reality, a nightmare that unfolded in the blink of an eye—a life shattered and stolen by someone meant to cherish her love. And now I find myself on this platform, pleading for your help as we navigate through unimaginable grief and chaos that has become our lives since Selena's passing.

The emotional toll alone would have been enough; losing a child is the ultimate pain no parent should ever know. But life isn’t fair—it demands more from us when least expected to give. I had to take time off work, my absence acutely felt by those who remain behind in our broken family unit. We've spent every waking hour since then trying not just to survive but also dealing with the legalities surrounding her murder: attending court proceedings and securing a hotel room where we can rest, if only for brief moments between tears.

And there’s more—we need an attorney who could make sure justice prevails in this case; someone committed enough to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of the law. But with every step towards closure comes another expense: funeral costs, legal fees, hotel stays...the list seems endless and overwhelming as we try to piece together our shattered lives.

This is where you come into our story—as more than just bystanders but active participants in helping us bring her killer to justice. Every dollar counts; it’s a small yet significant step towards ensuring that no other family has to suffer like ours does daily without their loved one by their side. Your contribution could help pay for hotel stays, legal fees, and even contribute to our emotional well-being as we fight through this darkness together.

Remember Selena—a beautiful soul who lived far too briefly yet touched the hearts of everyone she met with her vibrant energy and infectious laughter. Let’s turn today’s pain into tomorrow’s hope by making sure justice finds its way to us in our darkest hour. Please, join me in supporting this cause that seeks not only vengeance but also peace for Selena and countless others taken too soon from their loved ones' arms.

Thank you—from the bottom of my heart ❤️
