Christmas Party for Children Who Discovered Deceased Mom & Friends
December 11, 2019, Detroit, Michigan – While most children are excited about Christmas and wondering what Santa has in store for them this year, Kissiah Edwards, 8 and her sister Laveah Edwards, 10 are dealing with the trauma of discovering their mom and three friends on the floor of their home on Sunday, December 8th. Their mother and two of the friends were pronounced dead from a suspected overdose.
The girl’s father, Cameron Edwards now has custody but is struggling to find a larger place to live and provide much needed items for the girls. All of their clothing, shoes, toys, personal items are locked in the mom’s home which investigators believe is contaminated with Fentanyl and due to the investigation won’t be accessible for thirty days or more.

The public is invited to stop by and bring a Christmas gift or donate clothing; girls sizes 12 & 14, shoe sizes 5 1/2 & 6 or donate personal items. Light refreshments will be served.
