Braintree community raises over £6,000 for family after teen's death

A community fundraiser for a family in Braintree has raised over £6,700 following the sudden death of 19-year-old Chelsea-Rose. The online campaign, established by her aunt Kathleen Parker, is nearing its £8,000 goal.

Chelsea-Rose, who lived with autism and epilepsy, passed away after a seizure triggered a cardiac arrest. Her family noted that she had also been undergoing treatment for a rare cancer diagnosed earlier this year. The funds are intended to assist with funeral costs and daily expenses for the family during their bereavement.
