A heartfelt fundraiser in memory of Daniel Anjorin, the 14-year-old tragically killed in the Hainault sword rampage, has exceeded £100,000 in donations within just two days.
Daniel Anjorin was fatally stabbed while on his way to school in east London on Tuesday, leaving his family and community devastated by the loss. Thousands of people have come together to support the Anjorin family during this difficult time, contributing to the fundraiser hosted on GoFundMe.
The funds raised will be directed towards assisting the teenager’s family, according to the description provided on the fundraiser page. Describing Daniel as “very loved” and someone who was “always full of happiness,” the page serves as a tribute to his memory and the impact he had on those around him.
Messages of condolence and support flooded the fundraiser page, with individuals expressing their sympathy and solidarity with the grieving family. Many offered heartfelt words of comfort and shared their sorrow at the tragic loss of such a young life.
Daniel Anjorin was a student at the prestigious Bancroft’s School in Woodford Green, where his mother works as a science teacher. The school community mourned his passing, with the flag on the school building flown at half-mast in his honor.
In a statement released by Bancroft’s School earlier this week, Daniel was remembered as a “true scholar” known for his positive nature and gentle character. The school pledged to support the entire community during this difficult time, offering their deepest sympathies to Daniel’s family.
As the fundraiser continues to gather support and donations, it stands as a testament to the impact Daniel had on those around him and the outpouring of love and solidarity from people near and far.
