Support Jay in Memory of His Son JJ

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amy, and I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend, Jay, who is grieving the unimaginable loss of his beloved son, JJ. On October 16, 2025, a tragedy occurred that no parent should ever experience. Baby JJ’s life was taken far too soon, leaving his father, Jay and his 3 siblings heartbroken and grieving. Jay is a devoted, hardworking father who loved his son deeply, and he is now faced with the painful reality of honoring JJ’s memory while preparing to lay him to rest.

I am organizing this GoFundMe on Jay’s behalf to help support him with:
  • Funeral and memorial service costs
  • Time away from work to grieve and make arrangements
  • Emotional, legal, and support needs during this difficult process

No amount can erase the pain of losing a child, but our support can help ease the weight on Jay’s shoulders as he navigates this heartbreaking journey. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Jay and his family in your prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this devastating time. May baby JJ rest in peace, and may Jay feel surrounded by love as he begins to heal.
