Shawn Francis, loyal Aston Villa fan, passed away this past weekend due to sudden death. The young man, only 29 years old, is expecting his first child, the result of his relationship with his girl, Danielle. Known to fans of the English club, the news of his death did not fall on deaf ears and many media outlets published what happened.
Along these lines, the young man’s friends created a fund to collect donations for Francis’ family: “We want to raise funds for support Shawn’s family, help cover the costs of a baby’s funeral and upbringing, and lessen the financial burden after such a devastating tragedy.”
In addition, they added that “we want to give the baby, who will be a nephew to all of us, the best start in life, and we know that our friends and the wider community can come together to make a positive difference.”
Jack Grealish, one of the first to donate
One of the first to contribute his grain of sand to the goal was Manchester City player, Jack Grealish. Without going any further, the footballer made a donation of £5,000 (5,600 euros approx) for the family of an Aston Villa fan. With this, the web has already raised more than 22,000 pounds.
