NEW YORK – An online fundraiser launched with a $10,000 goal to pay funeral expenses for a 13-year-old New York City boy who took his own life has raised over $107,000 from more than 2,800 donors in three days.
Danny Fitzpatrick’s sister found him dead late Thursday in their attic.
The teen left behind a hand-written note describing the alleged abuse by five boys at Holy Angels Catholic Academy in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
“They did it constantly,” Danny said in a note, adding that he told his teachers, but they did nothing.
“I gave up the teachers … they didn’t do ANYTHING,” Danny wrote.
