Cover the expenses for the passing of Nhia Pheng

Hi I'm Xocha Xiong the uncle of Nhia Pheng Thao, and I'm organizing this fundraiser to help lessen the financial burden on Ying Xiong, Nhia's mother. The funds will go towards funeral expenses and intensive cultural traditions during the passing of a loved one.

On March 3rd, 2023, the life of Ying Xiong changed forever. Her only son Nhia Pheng Thao passed away peacefully in his sleep around noon. He had been sick since Monday that week, and even attempted to get into work, but was sent home when his coworkers were concerned for his welfare. He had a little to eat and even talked with his mother, Ying, before sleeping. The next day seemed like every other day, Ying even said goodbye to him before leaving to work at 4 A.M. when passing his room hoping he heard it as his door was slightly opened, little did she know that would be the last goodbye she would say.

Nhia Pheng, Nhia, or Pheng, however which way you knew him by his name, he had a personality that made him the center of attention. He could make you laugh with his jokes and quick zingers. He had an immense love for art and anything magical. Growing up he was obsessed with Charmed(1998) TV show, Harry Potter series and movies like Practical Magic and The Craft. In the world of art he wanted to draw comics, being inspired by Marvel and DC comics, but if you asked him, he was a Marvel Fanboy. He loved the characters Jean Grey, Emma Frost and Scarlet Witch, as these characters and comics, combined both art and magic for him. Along with those he loved Disney, and anything Disney, and by the overplayed VHS tape of The Little Mermaid, that might be a clear sign of his favorite Disney Film.

I like to believe everyone who met Nhia Pheng felt just a little more magical in their life when being around him.
