GoFundMe for Kelly Wilkinson’s three children: How to help

The heartbroken family of Kelly Wilkinson, whose alleged murder has left three kids without their mum, have started a GoFundMe.

The heartbroken sister of Kelly Wilkinson, the Gold Coast woman allegedly murdered by her estranged husband while their three horrified children sat metres away, has started a GoFundMe for the family.

Ms Wilkinson, 27, was found dead by police with burn injuries yesterday morning in the backyard of her Arundel property.

Neighbours had called police at about 6.40am after hearing “raised voices” and then screaming coming from the Spikes Ct home.

Police who rushed to the scene found Ms Wilkinson’s three children — all under the age of nine — inside the house.

Following the horrific incident, Ms Wilkinson’s grieving family started a GoFundMe for the beloved mum’s three kids.

“Unfortunately Kelly has passed away ... we are trying to raise money to pay for the funeral, the kids schooling and all other costs,” her sister Natalie Wilkinson wrote.

“Please help us! We appreciate any help no matter how big or small.”

The GoFundMe has raised more than $90,500, close to doubling the $50,000 goal, in less than 24 hours.

Kelly’s partner charged with murder after being found in a ‘semi-conscious’ state

Ms Wilkinson’s estranged partner, 35-year-old Brian Johnston, who is accused of committing the horrific crime, was found yesterday morning, two blocks away from the crime scene in a “semi-conscious” state.

He remains under police guard at the Royal Brisbane Hospital with serious burns to his hands and airways.

Queensland Police last night released a statement confirming Gold Coast detectives had charged Mr Johnston with murder.

On April 6, two weeks before the alleged murder, Johnston’s sister Kelly Kruft created the ‘Help Brian and his Children’ GoFundMe page.

“I’m Kelly, Brian’s sister, this is all I know to do to help my brother currently since he is in Australia! He needs our help! Please and Thank you! God Bless,” the nondescript fundraiser read.

A day after creating the page, which featured a photo of Johnston’s three children, Ms Kruft took to Facebook to plead for donations.

“We are asking for your help and most definitely your prayers please! I can’t go into details currently but Brian needs his family and friends!!!!” she wrote.

Last night, Ms Wilkinson’s sister Danielle reacted with anger on social media, hitting out at Ms Kruft for posting about the fundraiser page.

Ms Kruft took down her Facebook page late on Tuesday night after being hit with thousands of abusive messages directed to her brother.
