Like-Hearted Funding

Fund A Family In Need

Recognizing the emotional and financial strain that comes with the sudden death of a child, the foundation aims to alleviate the burden of funeral and burial costs. Like-Hearted Funding embodies the foundation’s commitment to supporting families during this most difficult time, helping them honor their child’s memory with dignity.

Like-Hearted Funding is our fund-raising platform to help our families offset the financial aspect of their loss. It is much like other crowd-funding platforms where a description and picture are included, but different in that there are no fees taken from the campaign. All funds raised will serve to buffer the cost of laying the family’s child to rest. Any funds raised beyond the needs will be given to the family after all funeral costs have been covered. We, along with the family, promote the fundraiser on all social media platforms and encourage engagement from family, friends and community in coming together to meet the need. Like-Hearted Funding ensures that grieving parents can focus on healing without the added stress of financial hardship.

Joseph is raising funds in memory of Kamonte Hall, a beloved 16-year-old boy, and to support his mother, Chanta, during an unimaginable loss. On September 5, Kamonte suddenly passed away, leaving behind a heartbroken mother and a community that is still trying to process what happened. Kamonte lived with autism, epilepsy, and other disabilities, but those challenges never defined the joy he brought to the people around him. He was in 11th grade, looking forward to junior prom, and he loved swimming and going on adventures with his mother. Chante poured everything she had into caring for her only son. She made sure Kamonte was well cared for, full of life, and always showed up with a fresh haircut, a nice outfit, and the latest shoes. Together, they brought light and energy wherever they went.

This fundraiser is being created to help ease the burden of funeral arrangements for Kamonte and to provide ongoing therapeutic support for Chante as she faces life without her one and only son. Anyone who knows this family knows how deeply Kamonte was loved and how devoted Chante has always been to him. Right now, the family needs compassion, prayers, kind words, and any financial support people are able to give. Every act of kindness will mean so much during this painful time. Please consider helping Kamonte’s family honor his life and support Chanta as she begins to navigate this heartbreaking loss.
