In remembrance of JiJi

Hi, my name is Sarina Argento Eddins, and I’m reaching with a heavy heart on behalf of a beautiful soul’s family.

On the morning of May 26th, many lost a bright, beautiful Angel too soon — Ji’anni Hutcherson (JiJi), just 7 years old.

JiJi was funny, smart, and so full of life. She loved her school; she was a shining light at Sutherland Elementary, where she lit up every room with her laughter. She adored her friends, her family, and every animal she met. She was a big and little sister, a friend, a little girl with the kindest heart.

JiJi’s passing from pneumonia was sudden and heartbreaking — something no family can ever be prepared for. Now her family is facing the unbearable task of planning a funeral for their baby girl.

I’m creating this GoFundMe to help lift even a small piece of the burden from JiJi’s family as they navigate this devastating time. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly towards expenses. JiJi’s mom is being forced to move prior to a funeral due to being behind on rent while also trying to save for a vehicle. All donations will continue to help support loved ones as they grieve.

If you would like to help in another way — by donating food or offering personal support — please reach out to me directly. If you can’t donate, a simple share would go a long ways. Please and thank you.

JiJi, we will carry your memory with us forever. Fly high, sweet angel, and keep watching over your family with that big, beautiful heart we all knew and loved.
