Jahvai Roy

It is with broken hearts and unimaginable sorrow that we share the tragic loss of 8-year-old Jahvai Roy — an innocent child who was taken from this world far too soon. In the early hours of August 16th, while peacefully lying in bed beside his mother in their North York apartment, Jahvai was struck by a stray bullet in a senseless act of violence. Despite every parent’s instinct to keep their children safe at home, that sanctuary was shattered in an instant.

Jahvai was a joyful, bright, and loving little boy. His life, full of promise and potential, was stolen in a moment no family should ever have to endure. The grief his loved ones now carry is beyond words.

This GoFundMe has been created by family friends to support Jahvai’s family during this devastating time. Your donations will go directly toward:

• Funeral and memorial service expenses

• Relocation to a safe and secure home

• Trauma counseling and emotional support for the family

• Any other unforeseen costs as they attempt to rebuild their lives after this tragedy

As investigators continue their search for those responsible, we are calling on the community to come together and lift up this grieving family. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Please share, donate, and keep Jahvai’s family in your hearts and prayers.

Let us honor Jahvai by standing against violence and showing his family that they are not alone in this fight for justice and healing.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.
