Family of young girl who died after being thrown from bouncy castle set up fundraiser

The family of a young girl who died after she was thrown off of a bouncy castle have set up a fundraising page in her memory.

The girl, named locally as three-year-old Ava-May Littleboy, tragically passed away after the seaside inflatable burst in the heat on Gorleston-on-Sea beach in Norfolk on July 1. Her heartbroken family members have set up a JustGiving page to raise funds for a child's bench to be put in her local park in her memory. The description on the page reads:

"On 1st July 2018, 3 year old Ava-May Littleboy tragically lost her life after a bouncy castle exploded on Gorleston beach, Norfolk.

"Her family would like to kindly ask for donations to help fund a child's bench in memory of Ava that will be put in her local park of Somersham, Suffolk."

The initial goal was £1,500. According to Metro, Ava-May's family members issued a statement paying tribute to the little girl who could "light up even the darkest of rooms". The statement read:

"She was not your ordinary little girl, as anyone she met, she would leave a lasting impression on. "Anyone that met her would not want to forget her. Her infectious laugh and smile could light up even the darkest of rooms."
