A Georgia mother, Raven Louise Broniecki, is now facing serious charges after allegedly being involved in her young son’s death, all while launching a GoFundMe campaign purportedly to “help get on our feet” just days before her arrest.

According to jail records, the 29-year-old Broniecki has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree child cruelty involving negligence causing excessive physical or mental pain, and reckless conduct. Her arrest took place on Monday in Hinesville, a city situated roughly 50 miles southwest of Savannah.

Authorities have released limited information regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident or the specific events that led to the charges against Broniecki. However, a report from local CBS affiliate WTOC noted that shortly before her arrest, Broniecki initiated a GoFundMe campaign to address escalating expenses, mentioning her son, Keith Richard, by name.

The content of the GoFundMe page reportedly expressed her grief, stating, “My sweet baby boy, my best friend, my whole world has recently passed away.” The campaign continued, “I am trying to raise the funds for bills. We spent all our funds on funeral and urns and other things for our baby boy, and we now are left with a hefty amount of bills and just need some help to get back on our feet. We are very stressed and heartbroken. Still have 6 children to raise and we are trying our best.”

“My sweet baby boy my best friend my whole world has recently passed away,” the GoFundMe reportedly said. “I am trying to raise the funds for bills. We spent all our funds on funeral and urns and other things for our baby boy and we now are left with a hefty amount of bills and just need some help to get back on our feet. We are very stressed and heart broken. Still have 6 children to raise and we are trying our best.”

The GoFundMe has since been taken down. It’s unclear why.

Records state that Broniecki spent just one day in jail after posting a $22,300 bond.

The Hinesville Police Department did not immediately return a message from Law&Crime seeking comment.
