Offer Support For A Brighter Future!!

This GoFundMe has been organized in the loving memory of Jonathan Lewis Jr. with hopes of offering his mom and little brother for a brighter future.

Jon Sr. (Jonathan’s father) organized a fraudulent GoFundMe in Jonathan's name appointing Mellisa (Jonathan's mom) as the beneficiary. People so generously donated with the belief that their donation would go to help Mellisa and Jonathan's little brother. Jon Sr. had $100,000 transferred into his bank account. Mellisa was able to transfer the rest of the funds that were donated until Jon Sr. closed the account. He demanded her to reimburse him for his flight to the hospital and time missed from work.

Jon Sr. was not an active figure in Jonathan's life since he was 11-months-old. When Mellisa and Jon Sr. were divorced Mellisa was granted sole custody of Jonathan. Jon Sr. had no visitation and chose to not be a fatherly figure. He had no custodial rights to share Jonathan's medical history with media nationwide. Jon Sr. has exploited Jonathan's murder by creating a misleading GoFundMe account and even making a guest appearance on Primetime Dr. Phil.

Mellisa is struggling to cope with Jonathan ‘s murder. She is not emotionally stable enough to go back to work resulting in the loss of necessary income. She has come to the end of the GoFundMe donations and doesn’t know what to do. They live in a rundown weekly hotel flat that has no bedrooms but it's all she can afford at this time. Lately, she has been extremely concerned that she may not be able to afford another month of rent. On top of coping with the sudden loss of her beautiful son.

So, I ask for everyone to please donate any amount possible and share! If you are unable to donate then please share with everyone possible. The more that it can be shared, the more chances that people can donate to offer this broken family a brighter future!

*****It has been brought to our attention that a number of FRAUDULENT GoFundMe accounts have been created with the belief that the donations will go towards Jonathan Lewis Jr.'s family. The funds that get donated to these fabricated accounts will NOT go to Mellisa. Please share only the link from this GoFundMe.*****

Jonathan Lewis Jr. was HERO with a beautiful soul that was taken too soon. He was an astounding young man and a devoted big brother. Jonathan's life mattered!!!

With your generous donations you will be helping Mellisa and Jonathan's little brother create a brighter future! Helping with housing expenses, bills, groceries.

Mellisa is proud to announce that her son, Jonathan Lewis Jr. was an organ donor through the Nevada Donor Network. Although many of his organs were unable to be donated due to blunt force trauma, Jonathan was still able to save 5 lives! Thank you, Jonathan! The world is grateful to know that your death was not entirely in vain.

Please, consider being an organ donor!

JONATHAN'S STORY

Jonathan was a 17-year-old student at Rancho High School in Las Vegas, Nevada that stood up to a bully in an alley behind the school not knowing that he would pay the ULTIMATE PRICE.

On November 1st, 2023, Jonathan confronted a bully after school. The security camera footage from the alley shows a large group of students gathered followed by Jonathan and his much smaller friend. When Jonathan confronted the bully, the teen waved to his friends. Jonathan was then inhumanely attacked by 10+ students (13 to 17-year-olds). They pushed him to the ground and began hitting, punching, kicking, and stomping on him until he was unconscious, bleeding, and in the fetal position. Then throwing his friend into a nearby dumpster. All the while, numerous lingering students recorded the heinous attack using their phones and posting it on social media. **GRAPHIC CONTENT** Not ONE of those students offered any aide to Jonathan or attempted to intervene! For 20 excruciating minutes Jonathan lay unconscious and bleeding before he was found and carried back to the school. Emergency personnel were finally called, and Jonathan was urgently rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival a drain was inserted into his head to reduce the swelling around his brain that was also causing his eyes to bulge. Jonathan was then placed on life support where he remained motionless for 6 agonizing days. On November 7, 2023, doctors declared him medically "brain dead", and the heartbreaking decision to take him off of life support was made. Jonathan passed away surrounded by those whom he loved.

The autopsy report described a ruptured aneurysm of one of two vertebral arteries, which are located in the neck and supply blood to the brain; a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which refers to bleeding in the space surrounding the brain; anoxic brain injury, which means the blood wasn’t getting any oxygen; as well as traumatic cardiac arrest and acute respiratory failure. Along with many injuries caused by blunt force trauma.

Rest In Peace Jonathan Lewis Jr. You will be forever remembered and loved!
