The late Callie Weems was from Fordyce, Arkansas. Her sudden passing has left the community and her family in deep grief. Callie was tragically killed in the Mad Butcher shooting in Fordyce, Arkansas, at the age of 23. She was a mother to a 10-month-old daughter, Ivy. Callie had big plans and had accomplished many life goals, making her death even more heartbreaking.
Timber Cheyanne Harmon, a close family friend, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support Callie’s mother, Helen Browning, during this difficult time. The fundraiser, titled "Honoring Callie: Support for Helen and Family," aims to cover any expenses Helen might face and to secure a future for Ivy. Timber wrote, "Helen has continually showed up for me, my Grandma, and all those she knows. She is a loyal friend and is going through one of her toughest times. I think this is a great way to help her, and maybe raise a little to go towards Ivy’s future."
Timber emphasized that the initiative, while not requested by Helen, has her full blessing. Callie Weems was deeply loved and known for her bright, loving spirit. Timber’s sentiment is echoed by Joe Richey, who commented, "This is the best help I know a human can give in such a tragic loss. Come on people. Everybody share and bless this family… Amen."
The fundraiser has seen contributions from several people, including Freda Whitmire, Gay Salley, William Richey, and Timber Harmon herself, collectively raising $375 out of the $20,000 goal. Timber’s post underscores the community’s desire to support Helen and Ivy: "If you’d like to help with expenses that may come in the future, feel free to do so. With Ivy being left behind, this is a great way for Helen to also do something for her future."
Gay McNeil Salley expressed her support by sending love and prayers, while Joe Richey urged others to share the fundraiser and offer their blessings. The community’s outpouring of support highlights the collective effort to help Helen through her grief and to honor Callie’s memory.
As the family prepares for the funeral, Timber assured that details will be shared on the GoFundMe page, inviting everyone to celebrate the life of Callie Weems. The fundraiser not only provides financial support but also demonstrates the power of community and friendship in times of sorrow.
