Hampden to host only 300 Saints supporters

-

Kind-hearted locals in Fife have rallied to support a family left devastated after their baby’s sudden death.

More than £300 has been raised towards a funeral for baby Frankie Stevens, who died suddenly on May 9 aged just over four months.

Set up by Frankie’s aunt Maya Stevens, the money will help the tot’s mum Jenni and Frankie’s two brothers, aged three and six.

Maya said the family, from Kirkcaldy, had been so grateful for the contributi­ons in recent days to the crowdfunde­r, including one donation of more than £100.

“It’s not even sinking in yet, it’s so surreal,” Maya said, saying the family was left heartbroke­n by Frankie’s sudden death.

“We’ve had one guy donate £100, I was so overwhelme­d.

“It was very sudden,” Maya said, explaining how she hoped the funds would help pay for Frankie’s funeral and take some of the stress off his mum.

“We are just trying to raise as much money as we can to help his mum and his brothers, just to give him the send off he deserves.”

Some of the money raised will be used by Frankie’s older brother to buy flowers.

“Frankie gained his angel wings, we are all so devastated,” Maya said.

“I’m just trying to raise some funds for his mummy to help give him the best send off possible.

“A massive hole has been left in everyone’s hearts, his mummy and his brothers are heartbroke­n.

“His older brother would love to get him some flowers so any donations would be so gratefully appreciate­d.”

You can donate to the crowdfunde­r online.
