Support for a family in their time of loss

I’m so sad to even post this but on May 16, my little niece Mia's life journey came to an end. Losing one of our young ones has left a void that could never be filled in all of our hearts. Mia was such a lovely, beautiful young lady. Just 15 yrs old. Mia’s legacy lives on through the lives of the children she saved through organ donation!!! ❤️ While we had to say goodbye, we were also so proud that 5 other children had been given the news that they had a second chance at life.

I’m making this GoFundMe to help support my brother Jimmy and his other children in this time of devastation. I can’t even begin to imagine the heartache of losing a child. With all this going on, the last thing he should have to worry about is financial problems. My brother is currently in between jobs and never imagined he would have to save up for something like this.

I know that in the face of unfathomable sorrow, we can still find hope and solace in the kindness of others. My brother and his family would be eternally grateful for any contribution that can help them navigate the dark days ahead. Let's unite in supporting this dear family and ensuring they feel the warmth of our compassion during this trying time. Together, we can make a difference in my brother’s life as he embarks on a journey no parent should ever have to endure.

Your donation will go towards medical cost and funeral cost.

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Together, we can continue to surround this little family (my family) with the love and support they need to navigate this challenging journey. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this time of profound loss.

The following is written by Mia’s Big sister and her dad Jimmy:

From Janessa:

My beautiful baby sister Mia Rose Pepper is the most loving, caring, smartest, and funniest 15 year old girl you will ever have met. She is very close with me and her little brother Brayden who was also living with her and our Dad full time. She always knows how to make you laugh even on your worst day. She is the other half of my heart, my best friend and my baby sister. On May 7th my sweet baby sister was unexpectedly taken to children’s hospital and was put on life support. Family, friends, and even strangers that heard our story tried to pray her back to life. But God took her home so that she doesn’t have to suffer anymore in this cruel world. She deserves so much better than the life she was given. She is the most beautiful and precious little girl in the world and her life was cut way too short. Before this terrible tragedy in our family my father was let go of his job as a maintenance supervisor at the apartment complex he was living at. So he is in the process of finding a new place and job. We are trying to raise enough money to be able to give my sister a beautiful funeral because that’s what she deserves. Any donation will help us be able to give My baby sister a beautiful goodbye. My family and I are extremely grateful for any help. Thank You♥️

From Jimmy:

My daughter Mia is a free spirited beautiful 15 yr old going on 20 Scorpio. She loved the love her family has for one another. Blood was always thicker than water. She was the funny and curious one out of the two other siblings. She shows it in her tictoks videos and day to day life. She loved feeling like a princess and getting her nails, hair, and makeup done. She had great style and a beautiful smile to match. Mia was a little shy, but she always made friends everywhere she went.
