Ayudemos a Repatriar a Jonson Temaj y Apoyemos a su Familia

Help Repatriate Jonson Temaj & Support His Family [ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW]

Estamos profundamente consternados por el trágico y repentino fallecimiento de Jonson Temaj, un joven de 15 años, estudiante de New Rochelle High School, quien fue encontrado sin vida en circunstancias sospechosas el 8 de febrero. Su partida ha dejado devastados a su familia y a toda nuestra comunidad. En este momento de dolor, nos unimos para brindar apoyo a sus seres queridos y ayudar a traerlo de regreso a casa.

Jonson llegó a Estados Unidos desde Guatemala en busca de un futuro mejor. Era un joven brillante y bondadoso, lleno de sueños y esperanzas, pero su vida fue arrebatada demasiado pronto. Su familia desea con todo el corazón enviar sus restos de regreso a Guatemala para que pueda descansar en paz en su tierra natal.

¿Cómo Ayudará Tu Donación?

Este GoFundMe está organizado por RELIG, la Comunidad Juvenil Católica de New Rochelle, donde trabajamos con jóvenes para brindarles apoyo, formación en la fe y orientación comunitaria. Nos reunimos semanalmente en las parroquias de San Gabriel & San José, Holy Family y Holy Name, así como en el Catholic Club de New Rochelle High School.

Muchos de nosotros conocimos personalmente a Jonson y a su familia, y estamos asegurando que el 100% de los fondos recaudados sean destinados exclusivamente a su repatriación y al apoyo de su familia.

✅ Traslado de los restos de Jonson a Guatemala
✅ Gastos funerarios y de entierro
✅ Asistencia legal y apoyo familiar

El tío de Jonson, Mynor Temaj, quien lo cuidaba en New Rochelle, ha estado en contacto directo con nosotros. Aunque la familia ha recibido donaciones a través de Zelle y transferencias bancarias, muchas personas han pedido una opción de GoFundMe para facilitar las donaciones, especialmente ahora que este caso ha alcanzado relevancia estatal y nacional. Los fondos de este GoFundMe seran transferidos directamente a la cuenta bancaria de su tio aqui en New Rochelle, quien manejara El dinero para la familia. (Esta pagina fue creado por la cuenta GoFundMe del Sr. George Morris, un voluntario en el ministerio juvenil "Relig" y amigo de Mynor Temaj.)
¿Cómo Puedes Ayudar?

Pedimos el apoyo de nuestra comunidad de New Rochelle, la comunidad guatemalteca y cualquier persona conmovida por esta tragedia para respaldar esta causa. Si no puedes donar, por favor comparte esta campaña para que pueda llegar a más personas.

Ayudemos a honrar la memoria de Jonson, apoyar a su familia en duelo y traerlo de regreso a casa.

Gracias y que Dios los bendiga.

ENGLISH:
We are deeply saddened by the tragic and unexpected passing of Jonson Temaj, a 15-year-old student at New Rochelle High School, who was found under suspicious circumstances on February 8th. His passing has left his family and our entire community heartbroken, and we are coming together to support his loved ones during this devastating time.

Jonson came to the United States from Guatemala in search of a better future. He was a bright and kind young man, full of dreams, and his life was taken far too soon. His family’s greatest wish is to send Jonson’s remains back to Guatemala so he can rest in peace in his homeland.

How Your Donation Will Help

This GoFundMe is being organized by RELIG, the Catholic Youth Community of New Rochelle, where we work with young people to provide support, faith, and community guidance. We meet weekly at St. Gabriel & St. Joseph, Holy Family, and Holy Name churches, and the Catholic Club at New Rochelle HS. Many of us personally knew Jonson and his family, and we are ensuring that 100% of the funds raised go directly to his repatriation and his family’s needs.

All donations will go toward:
• Transporting Jonson’s remains to Guatemala
• Funeral and burial costs for his family
• Legal & family support expenses

Jonson’s uncle, Mynor Temaj, who was caring for him here in New Rochelle, has been in direct communication with us. While the family has received donations through Zelle and bank deposits, many people have asked for a GoFundMe option to make donating easier, especially since this case has now reached statewide and national news. The funds from this GoFundMe will be transferred directly to the bank account of his uncle here in New Rochelle, who will manage the money for the family. (This page was created under the GoFundMe account of Mr. George Morris, an adult volunteer with the "Relig" Catholic Youth Ministry and a personal friend of Mynor Temaj.)

How You Can Help

We are asking our New Rochelle community, the Guatemalan community, and anyone moved by this tragedy to support this cause. If you are unable to donate, please share this page so we can reach as many people as possible.

Let’s come together to honor Jonson’s memory, support his grieving family, and help bring him home.

Thank you, and may God bless you all.
