Sergio Mora gave a generous $1,000, with Patrick Aristhene, who set up the page alongside the Day family, also matching the four-figure sum.
PATRICK DAY – GO FUND ME
Ladies and gentlemen, as seen across all media platforms and news outlets, the world has suffered an irreplaceable loss in the tragic death of professional boxer, son and brother, in Patrick Day.
Patrick Day passed away on Wednesday October 16th due to his injuries sustained in the boxing ring on Saturday October 12th in Chicago.
During his time in the hospital, the Day family has accumulated expenses that they will need support covering. Also with aid to go towards supporting his mother.
It is no secret that Patrick was a special soul. His love and warmth was felt by all who came across him.
From mentoring young children in the Freeport PAL boxing gym, to going down to local schools and speaking words of inspiration and encouragement to young people. Patrick always made the time and effort to add something positive to the world he was in.
We are all lucky to have had someone like him on this earth for the time that we did.
And even if you never met him, to see the number of people hurt by his loss should be a testimony as to the type of person he was.
PLEASE send what you can, as soon as you can, to make sure the Day family has zero worries of any financial burden from here on out.
