A fundraising campaign, through the Back a Buddy fund raising service – a web-based campaign for causes – has raised over R13 000 for the Ella James Kleinhans Angel Wings campaign.

Ella was just three-months old when her life was tragically ended on Sunday in a car accident on the Uithoek Street/Glencoe by-pass.

The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of grief and anger as it has been alleged that the driver, who hit her parents’ car (Daryn and Kayleigh) skipped a stop street.

Now, friend Candice Bond has launched the Angel Wings Appeal and donations are coming in from around the world

In her message on the Back a Buddy site , Candice says:

Daryn and Kayleigh lost their heart little Ella James (3 months old) on the 15th May 2016, due to a negligent driver who failed to stop at a stop street.

This is pain no parent should ever have to endure, Little Ella James was the most amazing soul, with her big bright eyes and her beautiful gummy smile, she was loved by so many and was taken too soon.
Daryn and Kayleigh endured minor injuries but nothing compares to the devastating loss of their first born child.

She was her mommy and daddy’s whole life and I would like to give back to them in some small way. I am creating this project so that we can help them with any expenses they may have incurred during this tragic time, or to use the money raised and treat themselves to a break, some much needed time away together, where they can reflect on their daughters beautiful life and start the long healing process ahead of them.

Please support my cause by donating whatever you can to help Daryn and Kayleigh, and in memory of beautiful Ella James Kleinhans our MOST beautiful ANGEL.

A memorial service for Ella will be held in Howick tomorrow.
