Local fundraising efforts are being made to help pay for the funeral of Jesse Smith, a 15-month-old child that passed away last week.
Cassandra Harrington is going to collect bottles and cans through Sunday, return them for deposit refunds, and bring the money to the funeral home that will be handling the service.
I saw some people making bottle/can collections at the Broad St. Hannaford over the weekend for the cause. It’s unclear if they will be there this week. Anyone who wishes to help can drop bottles and cans off at Harrington’s home at 64 Peggy Ann Road in Queensbury.
The child died from injuries last week that were allegedly inflicted by his father during visitation.
Our hearts go out to the James family in this time of sorrow.
