💔🕯️ “We Have To Protect These Babies”: Community Mourns Sisters Mila Chatman and Amor Wilson After Horrific Discovery

An entire community gathered in grief Wednesday to say goodbye to two young sisters whose lives ended in a tragedy that continues to shock and devastate people across the city.

Mila Chatman, 8, and Amor Wilson, 10, were remembered during an emotional funeral service filled with tears, prayers, candles, and heartbreaking tributes from loved ones struggling to comprehend the unimaginable loss. 💔

Inside Mount Sinai Friendship United, family members and supporters focused on reminding the world that Mila and Amor were far more than the horrifying headlines surrounding their deaths. They were daughters, sisters, children with personalities, dreams, and futures that should have stretched decades ahead. 🕯️

Authorities say the girls’ bodies were discovered March 2 inside suitcases partially buried in a field near East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue. The shocking discovery sparked outrage and heartbreak throughout the community as investigators worked to piece together what happened.

The girls’ mother, Aliyah Henderson, now faces multiple charges including aggravated murder and child endangerment as authorities continue the investigation. 🚨⚖️

During the funeral service, Mila’s father, Deshaun Chatman, spoke emotionally about the urgent need for stronger protections for vulnerable children.

“We got to do better as a village — taking care of these kids,” he said. “We got to get these babies safe.”

His words resonated deeply throughout the church as mourners reflected not only on the tragedy itself, but also on broader concerns about child safety, abuse prevention, and community responsibility.

Amor’s father, Rashawn Wilson, who is currently incarcerated, shared a recorded message mourning his daughter and expressing grief over the life she never got the chance to live.

Across social media, thousands of people have continued sharing the sisters’ story while demanding justice and remembering the girls as innocent children whose lives ended far too soon.

Advocates say the case has become another painful reminder of how vulnerable children can be when warning signs, instability, or dangerous circumstances go unnoticed or unaddressed.

But during Wednesday’s farewell, loved ones made clear they do not want Mila and Amor remembered solely for the horrific way they died.

They want them remembered for who they were:
💔 two sisters
💔 two children deeply loved
💔 two lives that mattered

As candles flickered and prayers filled the room, mourners vowed the girls would never be forgotten — and that their names would continue inspiring calls for stronger protection for children everywhere. 🕊️
