Clare McCann’s Cryonics Campaign Raises Just $6,270 with Time Running Out

She launched the $300,000 fundraiser after her son’s suicide highlighted alleged school failures with a seven-day deadline to complete the preservation

Overview

  • The GoFundMe has reached $6,270 of its $300,000 target with only days left in the seven-day window since Atreyu’s death on May 23.
  • Atreyu took his own life after reportedly suffering months of severe bullying at a New South Wales public school, according to his mother.
  • Southern Cryonics, Australia’s first cryonics facility, has agreed to undertake the preservation procedure, although experts warn there are no guarantees of revival.
  • The NSW Department of Education says it is providing counseling support and expresses devastation, but McCann disputes that any substantive action was taken.
  • McCann has vowed to use any excess funds for a national anti-bullying education campaign and legal action against institutions she holds responsible.
