mercy fund request for zykel johnson's family

Will you please consider helping a hurting family? We at CGM truly believe that we are called to walk with the families of our neighborhood in some of their darkest times. But we can't do this without your help.

This beautiful boy, named Zykel Johnson, went to heaven on April 15. The cause was SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). No parent ever wants to plan the funeral of their child. To assist with the costs, you can do so at www.cgm.life/donate. Place Zykel's name in the notes section so we can direct the funds.

We thank you on behalf of the family.
 

UPDATE:

The funeral has been paid for. From CGM founder Bryan Kelly -

"I am in awe as nine people responded tonight to a simple Facebook "friend" post and paid for the funeral of an infant in our neighborhood.... for a family they have never met.

I have heard thousands of sermons and remember few.

Seeing you all sacrifice so a grieving mother can bury her child and experience the love of Jesus in the provision from "strangers" is the loudest picture of the kingdom of God and a sermon I will never forget.

Thank you for giving me hope, strengthening my faith, and loving a family who has now rallied to God in trust and His love.

In a stream of fight videos, mean and hateful shots at others, political nothingness, and personal boasting..... your example has caused me to want to see one more day in hope of resurrection."

Thank you to all who prayed, to all who gave, and to all of you who love our community and staff and continue to "show up" as ambassadors of our great and mighty risen King.
