Official GoFundMe page for Jay Slater reaches £25k after friends sets up fundraiser for missing teen that vanished on Tenerife island 6 days ago

The funraiser which was set up by Jay’s friend Lucy Mae Law to help with search efforts and has now raised more than £25,000.

Lucy, who had gone on the holiday to Tenerife with the 19-year-old, was the last person to hear from the 19-year-old.

Jay was last heard from at 8.50am on Monday when he messaged Lucy to say he was 19 miles away at an apartment in Masca, north west Tenerife and trying to make his way home but his phone battery was on one per cent and he had no water.
