Jacob Jenkins fundraising page almost at £20k target

Jacob Jenkins died after a five day coma

A fundraising page set up for toddler Jacob Jenkins has almost reached its £20,000 target.

The two-year-old choked on a grape in Hartlepool in October. Now, the GoFundMe page is less than £300 away from the goal.

Jacob's funeral is taking place today, October 28, and yellow balloons will be released in his memory.

The public are invited to attend the funeral, which is taking place at St Joseph's Church at 1pm, but have been asked to please make sure family are given priority.

The family have asked people wear traditional black and white with a hint of yellow, Jacob's favourite colour.
