Chelsea High School student s death sparks fundraiser for mental health awareness
The Detroit News
The family of a Chelsea High School student who died last weekend in a freeway accident is asking the community to honor him by donating money to help raise awareness of mental health issues.
A GoFundMe memorial for Shaun Happy launched Monday with a $50,000 goal. On the page, his mother, Shannon Happy, said the funds would benefit a local group that specializes in addressing mental health issues of area youth. We don’t want this tragedy to be for naught, she wrote. Our entire community is affected by how/why this occurred.
