Cherice Thomas, Los Angeles, CA — The community is mourning the loss of Cherice Thomas, who passed away yesterday in a tragic swimming accident. Cherice was a beloved friend and mother, known for her resilience and loving nature.
Cherice’s life was marked by significant challenges, including a wrongful conviction of murder in 2009, which was overturned on appeal. In 2012, she was found not guilty in a retrial and was able to rebuild her life, attending the wedding of her friend Jennifer Hansen shortly after her release and welcoming her son Deron in 2013.
Deron, now 11 years old, faces a tough road ahead without his mother. Jennifer Hansen, who organized a fundraiser to support Deron, shared that they have stayed in touch and their kids attended summer camp together last summer. Jennifer is committed to ensuring that any money donated will be used for Deron’s care and upbringing, including grief counseling and relocation support.
So far, $30 has been raised out of the $10,000 goal, with the first donation coming from Bess Stiffelman. The community is encouraged to contribute to help support Deron during this difficult time.
