(WWJ) An online fundraiser has been set up to help the family, including the young daughter of a Michigan woman who died at Faster Horses last weekend.
Michigan State Police detectives are awaiting toxicology reports from an autopsy on the body of 30-year old Melissa Havens from Croswell, who was found dead at the massive county music festival in Lenewee County. Police say it may be two or three weeks before more information about her cause of death is available.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe account set up to help pay for Havens' memorial and support her child has raised nearly $5,000.
A message on the page reads: "The Havens family has unexpectedly lost a daughter, sister, and mother. Melissa would light up any room she walked into and would help anyone she could. She was the life of the party. She is loved and will be remembered forever. She always made everyone smile and laugh. Right now the family is struggling financially and could use some help. Any shares or donations would be greatly appreciated.
"Melissa left behind a six year old daughter who any left over proceeds will be put into a savings account to fund her future. Thank you to everyone who has helped and reached out during this time, it has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate your kindness."
Those who wish to help can make a donation HERE.
Faster Horses, held July 16-18 this year at the Michigan International Speedway, typically draws more than 40,000 country music fans to the area; many of which camp out for the weekend.
