Support Natasha's Family After Tragic Loss

My name is Natasha, and I am heartbroken to share that my son, Trayven M. Thompson, was taken from us on May 25, 2025, at the tender age of 22, as a victim of senseless gun violence. This unimaginable loss has left a void in my heart that words cannot express.

Trayven was a vibrant young man who graduated from Canal Winchester High School in 2021. He had a passion for football that began in childhood and continued throughout his school years. Known for his outgoing personality, he brought joy and warmth to everyone around him. He was kind and affectionate, often sharing hugs with friends and even strangers, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.

As I navigate this devastating time, I am faced with overwhelming challenges. I have two young daughters who depend on me, and the emotional toll of losing Trayven has made it difficult for me to work. I am struggling to provide for my family, especially as I will be missing more work to attend upcoming court dates related to this tragedy.

I am reaching out for help to support my family during this incredibly difficult time. Your contributions will provide much-needed assistance as we cope with our loss and seek justice for my beloved son.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any support you can offer, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, would mean the world to us. Together, we can honor Trayven’s memory and find the strength to carry on.
