A fundraising website, a Go Fund Me page and a Meal Train page have been set up to help cover funeral expenses for Wyatt.

The website was set up by family friend Kevin Bonn, who says in a YouTube video that Wyatt was struck and killed by a 78-year-old man who ran a red light.

He would have been a freshman at Valencia High School in the fall.
