A loved one of a bereaved family who recently lost their little boy has started a GoFundMe page to assist the family with medical and funeral costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a 3-year-old boy was reported missing in Corinna, Maine on January 12, 2025, the Maine Department of Public Safety officials confirmed that he\u00a0passed away. According to state officials, the boy\u2019s father found him outside in the snow near the residence where he was reported missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State officials suspect the toddler died from exposure to the harsh winter elements, though the official cause of death will be determined following an autopsy conducted by the Chief Medical Examiner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident unfolded early in the morning when the Penobscot County Sheriff\u2019s Office received a call around 8:30 a.m. from a concerned woman reporting that her young nephew had gone missing from a home on Exeter Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, the boy\u2019s father made the heartbreaking discovery. \u201cRegretfully, the male child succumbed to injuries which appear to be consistent with exposure to the elements,\u201d reads a message from state officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have also confirmed that this was an isolated incident and assured the public that there is no ongoing safety concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement addressing the loss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Health and Human Services expressed their deep sorrow, stating, \u201cThe loss of a child is devastating and tragic. Our condolences are with the family and those impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to confidentiality laws and the sensitive nature of the case, officials declined to provide further comment. News Center Maine reports that the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation with support from the Penobscot County Sheriff\u2019s Office and Maine DHHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support the grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time, the boy\u2019s aunt, Desiree Ambrose, launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking assistance with funeral, memorial, and medical expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GoFundMe page features a touching photo of the bright-eyed boy smiling sweetly with his mom, his curly blonde hair and cheerful demeanor capturing the joy he brought to those around him. \u201cThe sudden and unexpected loss of this 3 year old boy has left his mom, dad and 2 siblings completely heart broken [sic],\u201d penned Ambrose in her heartfelt plea to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continued, \u201cHe was such a strong loving caring funny happy little boy. He loves his family with such unconditional love and was loved back so unconditionally by everyone that knew him. He passed away 1\/12\/2025 due to a horrific incident [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambrose then pleaded, \u201cPlease anyone. Everything and anything is very much appreciated. Thank you and please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers as we continue this long journey to get this little boy to rest where he belongs at home with his family.\u201d The campaign set a goal of $10,000, and as of now, it has raised $5,590 through 142 donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy\u2019s aunt also took to Facebook to share the GoFundMe page she created for her late nephew, drawing attention to the family\u2019s need for financial assistance during this devastating time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the many heartfelt comments on Ambrose\u2019s post was a deeply emotional message from the boy\u2019s grieving mother, Jada Haddad. \u201cThank you for doing this for joesiah Desiree Ambrose [sic],\u201d expressed Haddad at the beginning of her message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heartbroken mom also revealed the immense pain and emptiness she feels in the wake of her loss, sharing, \u201ci cant wait until my baby boy is home and at rest\u2026home does not feel like home anymore\u2026i feel so empty [sic]\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 14, 2025, just a day after Ambrose posted about the GoFundMe campaign, Haddad re-shared her sister\u2019s post with a heart-wrenching message of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her emotional statement, Haddad reiterated her longing to bring her son home and lay him to rest, emphasizing the immense loss her family is grappling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnything helps even just words of wisdom\u2026prayers\u2026please keep my baby in your thoughts,\u201d\u00a0added\u00a0the bereaved mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
