“Justice 4 Jayz” via GoFundMe
“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to pass along a fundraiser for a previous coworker of mine. Her 13 year old son was shot and killed last week in Hillcrest Heights (PG County) as he was outside their house raking leaves. The family is asking for donations to help with legal expenses to hopefully find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. Absolutely heartbreaking.”
The fundraiser says:
“Greetings to all,
On the evening of November 8th 2022, our son Jayz was senselessly shot in the head while raking leaves in our front yard. Our Jayz is a loving gentle child. His only squabbles are with his little sister Aaliyah over video games.
Jayz is in the Children’s Hospital fighting for his life right now. We are appealing to you to help us find justice for Jayz. We are asking for your help with legal and investigative expenses. We will not stop until justice is served. Your contribution towards this venture will be greatly appreciated.
Humbly yours,
Antoine and Juanita Agnew.
#Justice4jayz #J4J
My sweetheart and my love Jayz passed away at Children’s Hospital. Jayz is now with God. Jayz rest in peace and look out for your sister Aaliyah.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
