Thousands of pounds have been raised in the space of just four days - in memory of Barnaby Webber, who was one of the three victims who died in Nottingham last month.
19 year olds Grace O'Malley Kumar and Barnaby Webber and 65 year old Ian Coates were killed in the knife attacks on the Tuesday 13th June.
An inquest opened on Friday into their deaths.
31-year-old man, Valdo Calocane has been charged with their murder, expected to enter pleas in September.
Fundraiser surpasses target
The page on GoFundMe, called ‘In everlasting memory of Barnaby Webber’, was set up last on 7 July and has already passed its target of £5,300.
On the fundraising website, Emma Webber said: 'Barnaby was killed in a senseless, horrific attack in Nottingham on the 13th June 2023. He leaves behind a family broken by grief and loss but determined NOT to let him be taken in vain.
'He lived his life with a simple 'if he liked you he liked you' mantra. With no time or judgement for creed, colour, sexuality, religion or background. His inclusivity, quiet patience with others, and sheer generosity of his time, prove what an extraordinary 'ordinary' person he was.
'In time an official 'Barnaby Webber Foundation' will be created and funds will be used to further all of the qualities listed above and to keep his memory alive whilst reaching out to others.
'If you wish to donate in this interim period, please do so here. It will all be fully forwarded to the foundation once the finer details have been arranged. It will be so very gratefully received, and always always well used.'
