Vulnerable Children
Donation protected
My name is Nikki Knight, and I’ve created this fundraiser in memory of my son, Mason Rist — a bright, caring 15-year-old whose life was tragically taken by knife crime on 15 March 2024 in Bristol outside the gates of his home.
Mason had been out with friends, walking home after spending time in the park, when he was fatally attacked in a random and senseless act of violence. Despite efforts to save him, he passed away just after 11 pm. Our lives were changed forever.
Mason was full of love, laughter, and compassion. He always put others first — whether it was helping friends with schoolwork or sharing what little he had. He believed education was the key to a better future and wanted everyone to have the same opportunities.
To honour his generous spirit, I’m launching Mason’s Mission: a project to provide vulnerable children in the UK and overseas with the basic school supplies they need to learn and thrive.
How Your Donation Helps:
Too many children begin school without even the essentials — a pencil, a notebook, or a bag. With your support, we will:
- Distribute fully stocked pencil cases to children in need
- Supply books and learning materials to under-resourced schools
- Support classrooms in disadvantaged areas both locally and abroad
Be Part of Mason’s Legacy
£5 = a full pencil case for one child
£10 = books and essential learning tools
£20+ = helps equip an entire classroom
Your donation is more than a gift — it’s a chance for a child to learn, grow, and believe in their future.
Though Mason’s life was heartbreakingly short, his kindness will live on through every child helped in his name. Thank you for helping us keep his light shining.
With gratitude,
Nikki Knight
