As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This truth resonates even more profoundly as we mourn the tragic loss of Kaofi Lay-Montgomery. In this time of deep grief and unimaginable loss, we come together to support her teenage son, Stanley Montgomery Jr., who now faces not only the emotional toll of this tragedy but also the challenges of navigating life without his mother.

Now, more than ever, we must come together to support, uplift, and guide Stan through this heartbreaking chapter. Whether through prayer, mentorship, wisdom, or financial contributions, every act of kindness will help anchor this young man as he navigates the days ahead.

Your contributions to this fund will directly support Stan's education, extracurricular activities, personal development, and assist in ensuring that he has the resources, opportunities, and support to thrive.

We invite you to join us in honoring Kaofi’s legacy by helping to nurture and protect the future of Stan. No amount is too small, and every donation will make a meaningful difference as he begins the journey of healing. Together, we can continue to be the village that uplifts and sustains him.

We thank you for your generosity, love, compassion, and support during this heartbreaking time.

With deep gratitude,

The Montgomery / Lay Family
