A fundraising appeal for the family of 16-year-old schoolgirl Melissa, who died after being hit by a car near her school in north London, has raised over £90,000. The amount later reached £100,000. Melissa was described as an exceptionally talented student who achieved 10 grade 9s at GCSE and had aspirations to study Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Oxford. Tributes highlight her maturity in supporting her family through difficult times, her kindness, humor, and musical talents including singing Pie Jesu at Southwark Cathedral. The fundraiser aims to cover funeral costs and support travel for Melissa's grandparents from Asia.
