Quite often, a family is unprepared for the financial burden of laying a loved one to rest. As part of our commitment to Family helping Family, KW Cares offers funeral grants. We want to make sure no one needs to struggle in a difficult time.
One of our recipients, LuChiea Hinnant, shared with us what a funeral grant meant to her family.
My Name Is LuChiea Hinnant
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Keller Williams Brokerage and the KW Cares grant program for blessing my family with the assistance we so desperately needed during one of the most challenging times of our lives. The financial hardship following the sudden and tragic loss of my beloved son, Joshua Grissom, on March 2, 2024, at just 27 years old, was overwhelming. This grant has truly alleviated a significant burden and allowed me to focus on healing and supporting my family.
Josh was an extraordinary young man who made us all proud. He was the first of my six children to earn a college degree, graduating from Delaware State University. His heart for service was remarkable—he dedicated his time to helping single mothers and coaching basketball at Friendship Collegiate Academy, the school he graduated from. His passion for giving back to his community left a lasting impact on countless lives.
As a mother of six, including Josh, and a mentor to additional neighborhood youth, I never imagined I would lose my son so early, especially to something as devastating as septic shock. Josh’s passing has left a void not only in my heart but in the hearts of his siblings, his two nephews, and the community that cherished him deeply.
The KW Cares grant has been a lifeline, allowing me to take care of the financial responsibilities that came with this unexpected tragedy while providing me with the space to continue healing. It has been a reminder that I am not alone, and I am deeply thankful for this incredible support.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing by my family during this difficult time. Josh’s legacy will forever inspire me and the many lives he touched.
With sincere gratitude,
LuChiea Hinnant
