Over £500 raised for the funeral of Devon man in 24hrs
A crowdfunding page set up to raise money for the funeral of Daniel Young has generated over £500 worth of donations in less than 24 hours.
Police were called on Tuesday (Jan 19) to Kendor Gardens in south London following what officers describe as "an unprovoked" attack on Daniel Young.
He was on his way to the second day of his new job as a lecturer at Coventry University's London Campus International.
The crowdfunding appeal reads:
"When you hear the name Daniel Young, you think of the most kind hearted and inspirational person you've ever met.
Unfortunately, on January 19, 2016 Daniel was killed during a fatal and frenzied knife attack in Morden around 8 in the morning.
If you knew Daniel you would know he wants the absolute best for his family. This campaign is to help alleviate any financial hardship the family will encounter from the tragic passing, including funeral, burial and gravestone costs. Daniel may not have lived a full life, but he did live it to the fullest and touched many people's lives along the way.
Please show his family support by donating today. A little goes a long way. If you can't donate please share. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts."
