The Carlow community has come together in recent weeks to help raise a massive amount of money following the tragic passing of a teenage boy.
Janis Ozols tragically died in Carlow Town while travelling on an e-scooter with his friend.
Janis sustained serious injuries after the accident on Carpenters Way, in Carlow town at around 8.30pm on Monday June 30th and was rushed to St Luke’s General Hospital in Kilkenny.
The Leaving Cert student at Presentation College Carlow was then transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, where he was pronounced dead.
A GoFundMe was set up for his family which has now raised a massive €15,000 thanks to the help of Carlow people, businesses and organisations.
