My name is Melissa. We recently lost my cousin Jayden Nelson unexpectedly on March 8th do to an hit and run. Our family is still trying to process the loss. Jayden meant a lot to everyone who knew him, and this has been a really difficult time for us, especially his dad Jamie, mother Sara and his 2 siblings Lilly and Jace.

We’re hoping to give him a proper funeral and memorial, but the costs have been more than our family can manage on our own right now. Because of that, we’ve started a GoFundMe to help cover the funeral expenses.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount would mean a lot to our family. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this with others would also help more than you know. We truly appreciate any support during this time. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts.
