The 14-year-old fell asleep at his grandparents’ house. In the morning, he ‘just didn’t wake up’.
“No parent should ever have to endure the loss of a child,” Baans said on the fundraiser which more than doubled overnight to reach $46,704 on Thursday.
“We hope William is able to see how many people are missing him. How happy he would be to know his family is being supported by so many! I have increased our target once again.The family is still waiting for the results of an autopsy report. William Pfeiffer, 14, went to sleep at his grandparents’ house on Saturday night, but never woke up in the morning.“It’s been hell on Earth, like a tornado has come and ripped through all these families,” Baans told 7NEWS. “It just makes you want to hug your children extra tight.“ Karen will be unable to work for a while as she deals with her grief,” she added in the GoFundMe.
The loss of the Gleeson College student rocked students and teachers at the Golden Grove school, 7NEWS understands. It has organised a loud sock day in his memory. Karen told 7NEWS: “He loved wearing crazy bright socks with hamburgers, avocados or things like that.”
