Family Creates GoFundMe Page After Parents Killed in Car Fire in Pelham Manor

Savannah Ledeatte is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Sharon Strainrod.

After the deaths of Jahmale Ledeatte, 46, and Tracey Ledeatte, 44, who died in an automobile accident when their Tesla crashed into a wall in Pelham Manor and burst into flames, their children have set up a GoFundMePage.

“In a heart-wrenching turn of events, my life and my brother’s life were changed forever when our parents tragically passed away in a car crash. This unexpected loss has not only left us devastated emotionally, but it has also created financial hardship for us as we try to navigate life without them.

“We are just two siblings trying to keep going. While we are still in mourning, the reality of daily life is quickly catching up to us. We are struggling to afford basic needs, as well as the expenses that come with being active and engaged in school and life. Sports have always been a way for us to stay connected to our parents’ values and passions, but right now, the cost of maintaining these activities feels impossible.
“We are reaching out for support, not just to cover the essentials, but to also keep our spirits up through sports and community involvement. Any help, no matter how small, will make a difference in our lives. We are trying to stay strong, and with a little support, we know we can begin to rebuild.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story,” writes daughter Savannah,
