A Go Fund Me campaign has been launched to help two young Mimico boys whose parents have died.

Junior, 12, and Justin, 10, received the devastating news that their dad, Jason, 40, had passed away on March 11 ‘very suddenly and tragically,” according to campaign organizer, Sonya Zaccaria.

Zaccaria wrote that their dad Jason’s death occurred 14-months after they lost their mom, Jen, 38, ‘suddenly and tragically as well.’

“These boys are the center of their parents’ world,” she said. “Thankfully, they have many family members and friends who will love and care for them for the rest of their lives.”

Zaccaria said “most of us will never experience the pain of losing both parents at such a young age.”

“These boys will now have to navigate the world without their mother and father by their sides,” she wrote in an emotional message on the Go Fund Me page. “As a mother myself, it is my worst nightmare leaving my children behind with so many uncertainties that lie ahead.”

Zaccaria, who is related to the boys, said all funds raised will be used to pay for their college or university needs when the time comes.

“This fundraising is not for funeral expenses,” she pledged. “Any money raised will go directly to an education fund in both boys’ names.”

About $10,000 out of a $50,000 goal was raised by March 19.

A funeral service was held earlier this month at Hogle Funeral Home for the boys’ dad, Jason Reed.

“Those who knew him will deeply miss his beautiful, infectious smile, laugh and his warm and giving heart,” according to his obituary. “He will be so deeply missed by his children Junior and Justin.”

Area resident Bill Bates urged followers on social media to help the teens.

“These two sweet boys have lost both their parents in 14-months,” wrote Bates. “Let’s help them any way that we can.”

Dana Mainprize said it is a painful loss for the boys.

“My heart hurts for the boys,” she wrote online. “A big loss for so many! Together we will keep you safe.”

Erin Ryan said: “Prayers to you, your family and those sweet boys.”
