The organiser of the fundraiser Rachel Yaafe-Pain wrote that she started the fundraiser after hearing from Ms Marchant’s parents.

“There are no words to even describe this situation. But here is where we can do something great. We want to welcome Nevaeh into our tribe now and forever.”

Ms Yaafe-Pain said the funds will go toward Ms Marchant’s funeral and toward Navaeh’s daycare costs.

“Now is not the time for them to be thinking about the money, they need to be able to say goodbye to their daughter and look after their granddaughter,” Ms Yaafe-Pain wrote.

“So please lets all support them. $1 from each of us goes a long-long way.”

On Monday afternoon more than $3600 had been donated to the You Caring account.
