Ummmm....
Awwww! I feel so bad for Tameka!!
^^And what is so wrong with a fund???? You people are so ignorant on here!
Go dig your grave already, since everything is always a joke! ugggggggggggh
A fund for awareness!?!? Err, and ahh!?!?
People day every day due to water related accidents. At least on a weekly basis, they are looking for the body of a child here in my city alone...image the numbers around not only my country (Canada) but the US. True, he died in a terrible accident, but water safety is a broad range from river/stream currents to boating accidents.
My niece almost drowned a few months ago at a community pool, thank God she was saved.
My prayers and condolences to the family. It's a terrible thing to lose a child.
RE 9:51AM post
People DIE every day.
Sorry
Yes, a fund for awareness. Folks don't understand that you have to create a campaign to make everyone instantly aware. Like: "stop drop and roll". Every kid knows that because of some specific efforts. You have to make folks aware, it doesn't happen automatically or for free. Prayers to Tameka. SO heartbreaking!
@9:44 am....Actually I don't think it's a joke. I've lost 4 children that I was close to in my life and 1 in my family. So I know the pain all too well. My issue is with the fund's purpose. I am STRONGLY against children in water where there are jet ski's in particular, or motor boats. I always have and always will be. The environment is too dangerous and unpredictable. And often unmanned. Children are loosing their lives because of this on Lake Lanier. I think we need to stop trying to change laws and use common sense with these things. My heart is broken for his parents, his siblings and his other family. And most of all I'm sad he had to loose his young precious life like this, so don't assume you know.
@9:54AM
EXCELLENT POINT!!
WHEN WHITE PEOPLE ASK FOR A FUND NO QUESTIONS ASKED A WOMAN GETS BULLIED AND THEY NEEDED 5 THOU FOR VACAY WELL THEY RAISED 700 THOU AND SHE AINT EVEN HURT OR DEAD SO UUMMMMM ABOUT THAT...... BLACK PEOPLE WE JUDGE AND TALK TO MUCH AND DO NOT SUPPORT EACH OTHER SHE JUST LOST HER SON MONEY CAN NEVER REPLACE SUCH A PRECIOUS LIFE GIVE TAMEKA A CHANCE,TO HONOR HER SON THUR THIS FUND HER INTENTIONS MIGHT BE TO REALLY TEACH BLACK PEOPLE HOW TO AVOID A WATER ACCIDENT...
@10:13 am. Shut up! ain't nobody talking about no white people on here. Everyone on here ain't checking, chasing, or following everything white people do!
This is a damn shame she found away to cash in on this .....smh
It's not hard. If you are going to give to support her efforts, then give. If not then keep your money and negative comments.
It's very interesting that race was brought up in the previous posts. ESPECIALLY since there is the perception that many black people don't swim. So perhaps there IS indeed a need to get the message of water safety out to our community to teach first-aid, swimming classes, etc so that another parent won't have to suffer the way Tameka and her family are.
^^ Yea 10:13 Shut up^^
This fund can also teach black people to be there with your children when participating in a sport instead of leaving the country n with a nanny
aint nobody donating shit tameka, u greedy bitch. u mad that august child support aint gonna get paid, huh bitch
^^You are a really ignorant and miserable person.
@10:47 im gawn let the shit get started uup real good and the call the IRS to audit the bitch in a few months, im surue my call will make headlines
She lost her young CHILD and you've got ignorant ass folks on her making comments. I can't believe someone would think she would use her own child's death in order to capitalize off of. Kudos to her for turning a travesty into something good.
A fund ok sorry not sending money to people who already cough Usher ex wife cough already have money. The fund may be a good idea however how many deaths on the Lake prior to this innocent child's death. 4-5. Sorrry my child would not have went.
I support her efforts, but not just water safety, our black children need to learn how to swim.
A few years back, in Louisiana (i Think) six children drowned because they all went in one by one to save a relative but started to drop like crazy under water.
Go see:

**side-eyes** those names. may they rest in peace.
wow, but ok. condolences lil man.
nobody knows the sincerity behind this fund and that includes the tameka supporters.
as far as awareness goes that particular spot where her son eventually lost his life is a known death trap for fatal incidents so how much awareness is needed for folks who really don't care about that fact.
this fund isn't going to bring any more awareness to the reckless behavior that's always been exhibited at that spot. people just need to realize that we are land mammals and going into the water decreases our chance at survival when things get out of our control because our comfort area is THE LAND.
Seeing as though the officials over at Lake Lanier offer free water safety classes to boaters on the lake so..........

Yeah my thoughts exactly, this bitch really needs to go sit the fuck down already!!!
@10:13, oh no, I side-eyed that idea too. I just don't like how it's such a big deal when it's a celeb (or their child), but as we all know, folks die everyday. I think when I lose friends or family how the world keeps moving. Hell, even your job gives u 3 days to get over and get back to work.
I'm a lot better with death. I dont spend months and years mourning. Nope, we're all gonna die. I'll pay my respect, comfort loved ones, and get back to my life. As black folk, we gotta do better with death. OMG, it's so sad.. No, it's life and one day ur life will also come to an end. Mourn them, bury them, settle their assests and move on. really.

^^^^^Please preach to these gullible and lost people!
Saw it coming...
I hope that with her son passing in such a tragic way she does more to contribute to society than being a drama queen and Twitter whore. Best wishes to her.
I'll support it. From what I understand, this isn't the only fatality at that lake. It's not regulated because it's a playground for the rich. Something needs to be done. And if it will help her through her grief, so beit. And best believe, any mother would grieve the loss of a child.
I am sorry but whenever this woman is asking for money something just feels wrong! Her son in dead but she's still who she is...monay hungray baby momma
this bish retarded, the only awareness missing is HER being aware about the safety of her child
FAIL
I can't her greedy little hands, get a job bish.
the way she posts the info so easily just like that is really low class
at least have a link to a commemorative website or something...smh
and what are the efforts of this fund? how are they going to achieve this fund? sounds like a charity that doesn't have an office or a staff=doesn't exist! You can't set up a charity THIS FAST!
bish fall back!
This world is truly cruel! SO WHAT!!!!!!! If she set up a fund, you do not have to donate, so why do you care? People are so cold hearted, to not even know this woman and can be so rude after this woman lost her son.
Ole Meka, cannot wait to start bleeding those Sympathetic Hearts for every dime she can get. What Bullshit. No Shame with this woman!
poo boy aint even in the ground yet and she already has two accounts set up where we could deposit the money!
Ok girl,like what is this fund, every charity has a site telling us more info about how our contributions be spent...this bish gives us NADA
check yourself, we are not cruel, grieving mothers don't set up a fund with TWO accounts in a flash ...at least wait a month ho!
Tomeka, what a crook of shit you push every chance you get. Your son is barely in the ground and here you are pimping his body. What a low life garbage bag you are. Usher your life is doomed since it is tied to this hoe through your sons. Pity!
^ my bad meant to say po' boy...
RIP
Tameka wants all the tender and sympathetic hearts to send money to some pay-pal acct. that she rushed to set up during her (supposedly) mourning period. This money will be sent to her and not a foundation, which allows her to do, as she will with these funds. A govt.-recognized foundation requires a proposal documenting the goal/mission and showing a viable program of achieving such. Making contributions to govt.-recognized charities allows the donor a tax deduction. Giving money to Tameka only enables a diabolical fiend to continue on her path of destruction with added piss and vinegar. Why not set up a foundation w/website and invite the public to participate in a worthy cause? However, this slime bucket just wants the cash and lots of it with little or no accountability. Fools are easily separated from their funds.
i mean, just saying, if a loved one died, it would take me more than a few weeks to be able to start up a fund, id still be grieving n an emotional mess to just wake up n start an organization. the timing just seems kinda soon, for someone that lost a child, ok starting this fund to create awareness, how are u even able to organize shit your child hasn't been dead but for so long. idk man.
I don't know but something is not right with this fund and why not start the organization and then collect the money. When do you report back to the people how much money was collected and how it is being spent. Some dirt is in that milk. just saying.
