Tameka Raymond, Ryan, Usher And Family Seek Prayers For Kile Glover

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The family of Kile Glover including his mother Tameka Raymond, father Ryan Glover and former stepfather Usher Raymond are calling for prayers  in the wake of his tragic accident.

As previously reported last Friday Kile and a 15-year old unnamed girl were being pulled in an inner tube when a family friend named Jefferey Hubbard attempted to jump over their heads with a jet ski. Unfortunately the jet ski would hit both children with Kile suffering the brunt of the impact. The 11-year old boy has reportedly not had any brain activity since being admitted to the hospital and is currently on life support.

The family issued a statement to CNN earlier this week, “We know God’s in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time.
We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it’s the best way we can all support him now.”

As of Saturday morning, one week later there are no other updates on the state of Kile. Sergeant Mike Burgamy of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources explained that the accident was still under investigation.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
