Fundraiser For Leominster Teen Set Up Following Tragic Death

WORCESTER COUNTY, MA - A fundraising page has been set up for the family of Ezra Millard, the 13-year-old who was killed earlier this week after being struck by a pickup truck.

Set up by Millard's aunt, Michelle Wright, the campaign has already surpassed its initial goal of $15,000, as donations are flooding in for the family. Around $17,330 has been raised as of this morning.

"My sister, Melissa, experienced an unthinkable tragedy last night," Wright wrote, "No parent should have to experience the loss of their child."

Millard was a member of a local roller derby club, New England Junior Roller Derby, and the organization is expected to hold a memorial for them this weekend.
