The Community of Torry have come together to try and raise funds for defibrillators in memory of a local youngster.
Six-year-old Kacey Seivwright took unwell at an after school club last month.
The official cause of her death has not been made apparent, but a Go Fund Me page was set up to buy defibrillators for schools and kids clubs in the area.
The crowd-funding page says:
"On behalf of Raymond, Michelle and family we are looking to raise as much funds as possible to ensure all local kids clubs and schools have access to their own defibrillators."
It has already surpassed the £20,000 target, and at time of writing over £23,000 has been donated.
