The Flint, Michigan, community and Powers Catholic High School are enveloped in grief following the tragic passing of Mya Hoberg.
Mya is survived by her parents, siblings, grandparents, and extended family.
The circumstances of Mya’s passing have left her community in shock, and details remain private as her family navigates this loss.
Jennifer Crumm Wilkins, the mother of Mya’s friend, set up a GoFundMe campaign to offer financial assistance and support for her family’s unforeseen costs.
The GoFundMe description reads:
Today, the world lost a beautiful, bright light. Mya Hoberg was a beauty; inside and out. She lit up every room with a bright smile and an infectious laugh but was a force to be reckoned with on the sports fields and courts. She had a love for all sports, most recently soccer. She was called up to the varsity team because of that drive.
