Help Us Lay My 15-Year-Old Brother to Rest

On what should have been a normal school day, our world was shattered forever

Our world was shattered when my brother, who had autism, went missing from school. Instead of ensuring his safety, the school called my mom asking where he was—unaware that he was already gone. A short time later, a detective called her to identify his body. He had been struck by a car and killed.

He was only 15 years old, with his whole life ahead of him. The school failed him, and now our family is left grieving an unimaginable loss. My mom does not have the funds to cover his funeral costs, and we just want to lay him to rest peacefully.

Any support—whether through donations, sharing this page, or keeping our family in your prayers—means more than words can ever express. Thank you for helping us honor his memory and give him the goodbye he deserves.
