Shawn Mendes contributed half of the money necessary for a young man’s funeral.
Deijomi Makela-Stewart passed away last week in Mendes’ hometown of Pickering, Ontario. Makela Stewart’s family started a $10,000 GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral expenses.
Shawn’s name appeared on the GoFundMe page with a donation of $5,000.
Fans on social media have applauded Mendes’ generosity.
