The late Jonathan Ramos was from Ceres, California. This tragic news has deeply affected his family and community. Jonathan had just turned 11 years old and was a bright, active, and joyful boy who brought light to everyone he met. On Friday evening, around 8 PM, while returning home from a biking event with friends, Jonathan was struck by a car. Despite immediate efforts to save him, the devastating news came that he did not survive.
Jonathan’s father, who had sole custody of him, now faces the overwhelming task of arranging his final expenses. The family is struggling to meet the financial burden of these unexpected costs. Faith Mason, Jonathan’s sister, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support the family’s needs during this incredibly difficult time. The fundraiser, titled "Help Honor Jonathan Ramos’ Memory," has raised $1,850 of the $15,000 goal from six donations as of today.
Danny Aguilar, a family member, shared his thoughts on Facebook: "Anything will help, my little cousin was full of life and had his whole life ahead of him, life is not fair but we can only be strong for him." This sentiment reflects the profound loss felt by Jonathan’s loved ones.
Contributions from the community include a $1,000 donation from Jose Torres, $500 from Andres Aguilar, and several $100 donations from Gabriela Torres, Angeles Saucedo, and Zabel Blouin. These donations will help alleviate the financial strain on Jonathan’s family, allowing them to provide him with the dignified farewell he deserves.
Faith Mason expressed her gratitude for the support received, stating, "Thank you for your kindness and support." The family continues to reach out to friends, family, and the broader community for assistance during this period of unimaginable grief.
