Jayden Wright funeral fund reaches £3,000 target

A fundraising page that was set up to help fund a funeral for a 10-year-old Aston Villa fan who collapsed and died at home has already reached its £3,000 target.

Jayden Wright was found collapsed in a bedroom at the family property in Holloway, Northfield, last Saturday.

Paramedics spent more than an hour trying to revive the much-loved youngster but the Bellfield Junior School pupil was pronounced dead at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Heartbroken sister Elise, 19, paid an emotional tribute to her little brother after launching the online donation page to raise cash towards his funeral.

She said: “Jayden was a very happy, bubbly boy who loved his football. He was full of energy and full of life.

“I’m always going to miss him. He will be missed by all his family and friends.”

The fundraising page broke through the target just hours after the Mail told Jayden’s tragic story.

The target amount was reached on Saturday with a final anonymous donation of £392 taking it up to £3,000.

Tributes have been pouring in for the youngster from Villa fans. The club itself also tweeted: “We are saddened to hear of the death of 10-year-old Villa fan Jayden Wright. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Jayden. #AVFC.”

A post mortem has been carried out but a cause of death has not yet been determined by doctors.
