Former NBA star #ShaquilleONeal says he will cover the funeral expenses for 12-year-old #JadaWest, WSB-TV reports.

West passed away earlier this month after a fight at her school bus stop in Villa Rica led to a serious brain injury.

“This story touched my heart the moment I saw it in the media,” said Shaq. “As a father, my heart goes out to Jada’s family. No parent should ever have to bury their child, and if there is anything I can do to ease even a small part of that burden, then it is the right thing to do.”
_____________________________________
Shaq, who works with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, is partnering with Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett and Douglas County Sheriff Tim Pounds to support the family and help cover funeral costs.

“When a child’s life is taken so tragically, it affects all of us,” said Sheriff Pounds. “Our goal is simple. We want Jayda’s family to know that they are not alone and that communities across Georgia stand with them during this incredibly difficult time.”

Police are still investigating the incident. Let’ continue to pray for her loved ones during this difficult time. 🙏🏾 (📸: gettyimages) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffLG
