More than £130,000 has so far been raised for the family of schoolboy Daniel Anjorin, who was knifed to death in a sword rampage in east London.
Daniel, 14, was killed in the shocking attack in Hainault on Tuesday morning as he made his way to Bancroft’s School in Woodford Green.
Kwasi Asare, a friend of Daniel’s brother, launched a Gofundme page for the teenager’s grief-stricken family.
The page, launched on Wednesday night, had raised more than £130,000 by 9am on Sunday, May 5.
More than 7,500 people have donated so far, with one writing: “I am so sorry this happened to you Daniel. Rest in the heavens beautiful boy.”
Bianca Andrew wrote: Truly heartbreaking and as a mother it’s hard to make sense of what happened to Daniel. Heartfelt condolences to family and friends. May Daniel rest in perfect peace
Ashish Patel wrote: “This is deeply distressing and we pray for all friends and family affected. A young man with a bright future needlessly taken.”
Another donor, Gugu Madonsela said: As a mother, as a human being, I am completely shattered by what happened to Daniel. A life cut short so senselessly. Words defeat me. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and school. Rest in peace Daniel.
