A GoFundMe has since been set up to help raise funds for Hill and Jackson’s funeral expenses. “On September 1st, my sister Linda and my nephew Kardi were brutally murdered in their home. This unimaginable tragedy has left our family in shock and profound grief. Linda was loved by everyone who knew her; she would have given the shirt off her back to help others,” the fundraiser states.
“Kardi was the sweetest child, never bothered anyone, always enjoying his video games and spending time with family. Their loss is a devastating blow to all who knew them.”
The fundraiser adds: “Linda and Kardi did not have life insurance, and we are now faced with the financial burden of laying them to rest. We are humbly asking for help from friends, family, and the public to contribute what you can to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. Any amount will make a difference and is deeply appreciated.”
