The late Chimere (Meme) Trailer was from Montgomery, Alabama. Her unexpected passing on June 24, 2024, has left her family and friends devastated. They are struggling to prepare for her burial, which has led to a fundraising effort to cover the costs of her funeral service. Ladana Johnson, organizing the fundraiser, expressed the family’s gratitude for the support they have received so far.
Ladana Johnson shared the news on Facebook, stating, "The viewing for our beloved Chimere Trailer will be on Friday, July 5th between the hours of 1pm-8pm. Memorial services will be held on Saturday, July 6th at 11am. We would appreciate it if you guys wore colors. Any color. My sister loved colorful things. The viewing and the service will be at Philip-Riley. We appreciate you all for reaching out."
The GoFundMe campaign, "Support for Chimere Trailer ongoing memorial," created by Ladana Johnson, has raised $250 out of the $6,000 goal so far, with contributions from Tanyaloquesha Woodlee-McGhee ($200) and Karina Davis ($50). The family is seeking additional donations to ensure they can give Chimere the memorial she deserves.
Ladana Johnson wrote on the GoFundMe page, "It is with great sadness we inform you of the unexpected passing of our beloved Chimere (Meme) Trailer on June 24, 2024. We are all devastated by Chimere’s death and are not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Chimere the memorial she deserves and give our final goodbye. We thank each and everyone for the continued prayers and support during this difficult time."
The community has rallied around the family, but there is still a long way to go to reach the fundraising goal. This effort underscores the financial burdens that can accompany unexpected tragedies and the importance of communal support in such difficult times.
