GoFundMe Created To Help Families Of Teens Killed In Crash

STOUGHTON, MA — Area residents are coming to the need of the families of four Stoughton High School students who lost their lives Saturday.

The GoFundMe campaign known as "Support Stoughton Families!" has a goal of $40,000 and raised nearly $3,000 as of Monday night. By Wednesday night, the effort surpassed $30,000.

"The costs and expenses that occur in such tragic events can be overwhelming. Let's us, as a community, help by taking the burden off of these families!" campaign creator Christopher Monteiro wrote on GoFundMe.

All money raised will go directly to the families to offset the cost of funerals. Anything beyond funeral costs will go to assist these families and the community for a memorial or scholarship fund, according to Monteiro.

The community has continued to mourn the deaths of Chris Desir, Eryck Sarblah, Nick Joyce, and David Bell, who were killed in a car crash in East Bridgewater Friday. Monday, students at Stoughton High School wore orange and black ribbons in memory of the four. A service as St. James Church took place Monday night.
