“The family is in need of a lot of support at this time, as you can imagine,” the GoFundMe campaign states. “We are asking for your help in raising money for Michael Jeffrey and his family so that he can be given the funeral and memorial services that he deserves to honor his life. Anything you can give to the family is much appreciated.”
The online fundraising campaign aims to raise $40,000. Through over 670 donations, the campaign has collected more than $32,000. People continue to donate whatever they can to help support the grieving family.
After seeing the response to the fundraiser, the GoFundMe campaign organizer posted an update:
“The outpouring of support is amazing. We want to thank everyone so much for helping Enjoli, Layla, and the rest of the family during this devastating time.”
The update informed people about another GoFundMe campaign circulating online, created by the Lumberton Township.
The family feels grateful for the other fundraising campaign and asked people to donate to any of the online fundraisers.
