In Memory of James: Support for Nina's Family

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Community,

On August 19th, 2024, James Charles Lobue Jr was reported missing the moment his mother returned home to find him gone. It was later discovered that James had been picked up and made his way back to Vegas, where his father currently resides, from North Dakota. Some details cannot be shared due to an ongoing investigation. Unfortunately, on September 2nd, Nina received a call that no mother wants to receive. Her son, at the young age of 15, was murdered. This is an unimaginable loss that has left their family in deep grief and financial strain.

Nina is a loving, single mother of five. She has always put her family first. James was her second born. He was a bright, kind-hearted teenage boy. He had just turned 15 on September 1st, 2024. He had so much potential. He was an amazing older brother to all three of his younger siblings. He looked up to his older brother. James was motivated to finish school, get a job and set a better example for his younger siblings. This unforeseen tragedy has not only brought immense emotional pain, but also significant financial strain with making funeral arrangements and traveling cost due to family residing in both North Dakota and Las Vegas.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and show her family that they are not alone. Your support will help cover the costs of the funeral and necessary travel arrangements, providing some relief in this incredibly difficult period.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your network. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to Nina and their family.

Thank you for your support.
