A devoted One Direction fan has launched a GoFundMe fundraiser in memory of Liam Payne, aiming to support a charity he was passionate about—the Trussell Trust. The fan, Laurel Melsom, created the campaign as a way for fellow fans to honor Liam’s legacy and continue his charitable work, particularly for food banks.
The Trussell Trust, a UK-based anti-poverty charity, was close to Liam’s heart. He supported the organization extensively, donating funds and raising awareness about food poverty. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Liam funded over 360,000 meals through his donations and encouraged systemic changes to address hunger issues.
Laurel described the fundraiser as an opportunity for fans unable to attend physical memorials to contribute in his honor. She shared that Liam would have appreciated continuing his efforts to help those in need. The fundraiser has already begun receiving donations, reflecting Liam’s lasting impact on his community and supporters.
This initiative adds to the many tributes being paid to Liam following his sudden and tragic passing, demonstrating the love and respect fans and charities alike hold for him.
