An online fundraiser aims to support the family of Antoine Whittley, whose body was recovered from the waters of San Pablo Bay near Point Pinole on July 22, about five months after the 17-year-old went missing.
Helene Burks, Assistant Principal of Kennedy High in Richmond, where Antoine was a student and athlete, organized the fundraiser prior to the discovery of Antoine’s body, and the majority of donations at that time funded a private investigator and have also contributed to the family’s bills and financial needs, as well as travel costs of family from out of town, including Antoine’s father.
