Seven-year-old Kacper Kacprzac and pilot Neil Bowditch lost their lives after a plane accident in Offaly last week.
In the face of the terrible tragedy, strangers have come together to raise more than 30k in a day to help the victim’s families.
As tributes poured in over the weekend, friend Allaiouti Hassan, decided to set up a GoFundMe page to offer support to the people they left behind.
In the GoFundMe description, Mr Hassan explained:
"We are heartbroken by the loss of two cherished members of our family at the Irish Parachute Club, little Kacper, son of our dear friend and fellow skydiver Kris, and Billy, a true gentleman and a thoughtful and great pilot. This is a difficult time for us all.”
"I know that our skydiving family and the wider community want to come together and do what we can to support the families affected by this tragic accident. I myself have a son the same age as Kacper who loves planes. Having met Kacper at the club I know he was such a beautiful boy who would touch anyone’s heart."
The page has a target aim of €40,000, and already they have raised €32,664 through the kind donations of 557 people in 24 hours.
Allaiouti continued: "Please everyone let’s support their families at this tragic time. Every donation counts, no amount is too small or too big. Let’s show these families what they mean to us all. Please feel free to share this gofundme page with all your family and friends."
It is understood that seven-year-old Kacper, boarded the plane with his father, who he watched jump from the plane along with 15 other skydivers before the tragic evident took place.
It has been reported that both of his parents attended the scene of the crash on Sunday afternoon. The family, who are originally from Poland, are said to be living in Dublin.
