On Tuesday 31st of May, unfortunately our best friend who is 18 years old had his life cut short after being hit by a lorry in Poplar. As he was so young and his death was so unexpected and a massive shock, his family didn't have any funeral arrangements. His death came as a complete disbelief to his family and friends who are struggling immensely emotionally and finding it difficult to come up with the funds for Arran's funeral.

Arran Draper was a very fun and loving person who lived his life to the fullest and had a great passion for West Ham. He was a season ticket holder and he had the pleasure of experiencing the last match of the season at Upton Park but that also comes with the heartbreak of knowing that he will never be able to experience our new home at Stratford which he had put a deposit down for.

Please can you share this page and help us to raise as much money as possible for the funeral. We have been friends with Arran for several years now so are keen to help take some of the stress away from his family at this time of grieving.

We would appreciate all the support you can give to help remember the life of Arran Draper.

Thank you.
