The parents of Polina Kadiyska, the Bulgarian ballet dancer who was killed early Sunday in a hit-run, boarded a plane Friday with enough money to pay for the cost of returning their daughter's body home for burial.
A two-day fundraising drive raised $11,350 for the family, said Valeria Gospodinov, owner of the Euro Market in Broomall, which organized the effort.
"People were so generous and helpful and I'm proud of what we did," said Gospodinov, who had known Kadiyska since she came to the United States three years ago on a scholarship to the Rock School for Dance Education. "It's too bad no amount of money can bring her back."
