Bring Giovanni Home

Our family is living a nightmare. My 18-year-old nephew, Giovanni Pelletier, has gone missing under deeply troubling and suspicious circumstances.

He was picked up by relatives to visit his father’s side of the family and, according to those family members, he was later abandoned on the side of the road in Bradenton, Florida. His phone and backpack were found on the highway, and the last message he sent was a chilling text to his mom that simply said:

“Mom help.”

That was the last time anyone has heard from him.

Giovanni is smart, kind, and full of life. He didn’t deserve this. Our family is devastated, terrified, and doing everything in our power to bring him home — but we’re receiving very little help from officials, and we are being forced to search on our own.

Many people have been asking how they can donate to support the search — and because of that, we’ve created this fund to help cover the growing costs. These include travel, food, housing, and resources needed to keep spreading the word and following leads. Giovanni’s siblings have had to return home to another state to start school, which means my sister is now supporting two households while also trying to find her son.

If you can give — even just a few dollars — you’ll be helping a mother who refuses to give up, a family desperate for answers, and a search that cannot stop until Giovanni is found.

Please donate.

Please share.

Please pray for Giovanni.

We won’t stop searching until we bring him home.
