Armorion Smith, now a guardian for his younger siblings, reflects on his sudden responsibility, stating, "My cards were given to me. I didn't choose my deck of cards." He highlights the weight of this role after his mother passed.
Gala Gilliam, Smith's late mother, faced terminal breast cancer with courage, described as a 'fighter' according to a GoFundMe campaign. Her passing left Smith to care for his younger siblings.
Smith's journey includes obtaining legal guardianship over his four siblings following their mother's death. The GoFundMe campaign aims to support him financially while he attends college.
The fundraiser, which had exceeded $140,000 by mid-September, serves as a community effort to help Smith navigate both his studies and family responsibilities after a life-altering loss.
