More than a year after Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s death, his wife, Tenisha Warner, may finally receive some of the financial relief she says she needs.

Tenisha lost her husband, while their young daughter lost her father after “the Cosby Show” star drowned in Costa Rica.

Now, she faces a legal battle with Malcolm’s mother, Pamela Warner, over his estate.

In the meantime, her longtime friend, Destiny Kael, has swooped in to help save the day. On Aug. 11, she created a GoFundMe to raise $40,000 for Tenisha. 

Kael, whose been Tenisha’s friend for 19 years, detailed Tenisha’s hardships in a lengthy post.

She clarified that she made the GoFundMe because she knew her friend would never ask for the support.

“I know that Malcolm is beloved by so many, and his fans are grieving his loss. I can tell you what most people never see,” she wrote, “I have watched Tenisha spend this year grieving the love of her life while honoring the promise they made to each other, to homeschool their nine-year-old daughter.”
