My name is Jarvis Washington. I'm starting this GoFundMe to raise money to pay for my 6-year-old son Mes’sia Washington's funeral. Mes’sia the scientist, as we called him, was a high-functioning, non-verbal autistic beautiful boy that I had the blessing to have fathered. He passed suddenly due to natural causes. This GoFundMe will ensure he has the proper send-off and to kick start “The World is Mine Foundation” inspired by Mes’sia Washington.
