Carla Hamilton from Georgia, US, said that she was worried about her nephews falling into depression after losing their only remaining parent.

"I want them to be strong. So I was worried about their mindset, their education, they don't fall off, don't get into a depression," she said.

In August, their father was diagnosed with Covid19 and sadly passed away shortly after.

Responding to a study indicating at least 140 000 children in the US lost a parent or guardian to Covid19, Hamilton said it does not come as a surprise as she knows of numerous other children orphaned by the pandemic.

"I personally know so many. My friend just had twins, babies. They were less than 2 months old and she is gone now,” she said.

Fundraising

Hamilton said her sole aim is avoiding any further trauma to the boys and giving them stability.

"Our main focus is making sure that they're happy, healthy, and don't grow up feeling sorry for themself," she said.

The doting aunt plans on keeping the boys together under one roof and has started a GoFundMe account to buy a bigger house to accommodate them and her four children.

In other heartwarming news, Briefly News recently reported that when Mikevans Juma met the love of his life Esther Njoki, she mentioned that she had been battling a kidney condition. This, however, did not stop the smitten man from marrying her.

The happy couple soon became pregnant and was blessed with a bouncing baby girl named Princess. The family was excited about the new addition and were doting on her every little milestone.

Nine months into parenting, Juma's wife became seriously ill. The couple spent a lot of money every week to get Njoki on dialysis. It was also taking a toll on her. So the couple decided to look for a donor to improve her quality of life and end the dialysis suffering.
