A GoFundMe page was created in memory of 24-year-old Jeysson Osorio Reyes. His body was found after he went missing in the Delaware River near Milford Beach in Milford, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, June 29.

Osorio's GoFundMe page had raised more than $1,200 from at least 17 donations as of Wednesday, July 3.

"I please ask all the people that if you can help with whatever comes from your heart," wrote Mayra Diaz, the fundraiser's organizer. "Even if it's only $1, I would be very grateful."

The National Park Service said Osorio went missing in the middle of a channel about 75 yards from the shoreline of the unguarded beach at around 3:15 p.m. Rescue crews discovered his body at around 7 p.m., just before ending the search for the night.
