A Go Fund Me page set up to collect funds for the burial of a fifth-grade Mary L. Fonseca School student who died last Thursday night has met with an outpouring of support from the greater Fall River community. As of this morning, it has raised $14,863, far exceeding its goal of $5,000.
Family friend Stephanie Santos, who created the fundraiser titled “Javen’s Jar,” described the 11-year-old as “sweet, loving” and said that his smile lit up the room
“But the reality is, you never know the amount of pain someone may be holding in their heart,” she wrote. “Out of respect for questions that may not ever be answered regarding this loss, my plea for help will not be based on the severity or the series of events that led to his passing.”

”I am asking that in Javen’s memory we come together and give his life more meaning than his death,” said Santos.
