Organised by Merle Fisher, the initiative aims to support Jordan’s family in covering the unexpected costs of his funeral.

“We are all devastated by Jordan Law’s loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service,” Merle shared. “We want to give Jordan the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes. Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help our family during this difficult time.”

The outpouring of tributes and support for Mr Law has been overwhelming. Jordan’s relative, Melanie, expressed gratitude for the kindness shown by strangers and the Bundaberg community during the challenging search. 

“The Bundaberg community are truly such a beautiful community to be a part of. Thank you to those lovely people who have dropped food and drinks off and sent their love and prayers,” she said. Jordan’s grandmother, Caroline, echoed these sentiments, adding, “Complete strangers opening their hearts up, bringing food, helping search up and down the river, and sending their love and prayers.”
