Fundraiser Established For Family Of Sarah Papenheim

NETHERLANDS — Donations are pouring in for the family of Sarah Papenheim, the Twin Cities woman who was killed Wednesday while studying and living in the Netherlands. The 21-year-old Andover native was attending Erasmus University in Rotterdam.

Papenheim was reportedly stabbed at the off-campus residence where she lived. Authorities told a local newspaper that screams were heard from her room before the incident, and a man was later arrested.

A GoFundMe page was established on Tuesday to assist the family in bringing her body home from the Netherlands.

"Many have asked how to help or what they can do to assist the family at this time of grief," the page reads. "By giving you will be contributing to the effort to Bring Our Sarah Home."

"It is with broken hearts that we go forward - the Angel Choir has a new percussionist, keeping beat for all those in Heaven and on Earth! Love to all who were blessed to have known Our Angel Sarah."
