More than 1,300 people have donated more than $60,000 to help the family of Melanie Coleman.
More than $1,000 worth of meals was bought through a meal service program.
Coleman suffered a spinal cord injury while practicing at the New Era Gymnastics facility in Hamden last Friday. She died at Yale New Haven Hospital on Sunday.
The Milford native was a junior nursing student at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven.
In a statement to WTNH-TV, her family said they are donating her organs and "are confident that her spirit, laughter, and humor will live on through the ones who loved her most."
