By Over £3000 raised for funeral of teenager who sadly died in Lincolnshire crash
Two fundraisers have raised over £3000 for the funeral of a teenager who sadly died in a crash over the weekend.
Jennifer Woodhouse, 18 and Lara Meldrum, 19, died when their car collided with another vehicle in Hagworthingham, Lincolnshire on Friday, June 17 just before 7 pm.
Tributes have been given about the two friends as Lara’s family said the friends had “planned a summer of fun” before starting university in September.
Two GoFundMe pages have since been set up to raise money for the funeral of Jennifer Woodhouse who had just turned 18.
One of the fundraisers was set up by a family friend, and reads: “My dear friend Ruth tragically lost her 18-year-old daughter on Friday in a car accident. Jennifer was truly the most beautiful, loving child with such a bright future in front of her.
“Her mother Ruth is undeniably the most doting mother a child could wish for. I don’t know what to do because I can’t bring her back, I can’t ease the pain.
“Ruth has lost her daughter, George his sister and Brendan was her father. Jennifer had so many people that loved her. She was best buddies with my daughter growing up and I can honestly say every memory of Jennifer as a child is a good one.
“I have set up this page of my own accord in the hope we can raise some money for the family to do with as they wish. Whether it be towards the funeral, a memorial, time away as a family to grieve, or even just that extra time off work.
“We will all miss Jennifer greatly and the world will not be the same without her in it. At this time I feel useless and this is all I can think to do to maybe ease some of the burden.
“May you rest in peace little Jennifer.”
The second fundraiser reads: “On Friday 17th June, Jennifer tragically lost her life in a car accident. Jen had just turned 18 and had her whole life ahead of her. Jen was loved by all who knew her; a truly beautiful soul, funny, kind, hardworking, clever & endlessly supportive, she will be missed more than words can express.
“The heartache Jennifer’s family are experiencing is unthinkable, and nothing will take away their pain. With this in mind, we are raising money to support Jen’s incredible mum, Ruth, and her beloved brother, George, in organising a fitting memorial for their beautiful girl.”
