Help Us Bury Oscar Johnson III

Donation protected
On May 2, 2018, we lost a beautiful soul to senseless gun violence in St. Louis, MO. Oscar Johnson III was a 14 year old student, aspiring basketball player, and smiling boy that cared for his family and friends. Oscar was to celebrate his 15th birthday on May 24 and graduate eighth grade from Yeatman-Liddell Preparatory Middle School. A soul taken too soon, we don't have the resources and funding to bury our young son, sibling, grandson, nephew, and pivotal family member. 

We are requesting financial support to help us host a funeral service within the next week. We will use the funds to purchase a plot, casket, headstone, and remaining funeral arrangements. 

We appreciate any and all support provided to help us lay our young son to rest.
