Tom Phillips

We’re devastated that our dear friend, Tom has sadly lost his battle with mental health which ultimately cost him his life. He was just 29 years old.

Tom was a big softy at heart. He loved animals, especially cats and dogs. And had this way of lighting up every room he walked into without saying many words. He always kept fit, set examples of how to act and always looked out for the people around him. He was one of life’s genuinely good people, and he’s going to be missed more than can be described and will always be with us in our hearts.

Tom was the kind of person you never forget.. anyone that has ever met him will describe him gentle, kind genuine and very level headed. He joined the Army at 16, and dedicated his life to helping others. Most recently, he travelled to Ukraine on his own accord, wanting to stand up for what he believed in and do his bit to protect people who couldn’t protect themselves.

While he showed bravery most of us can only imagine, the weight of what Tom was experiencing took a heavy toll. Tragically he was not able deal with the pain he was experiencing anymore and he lost his battle with mental health, far away from home and the people who loved him.

We’re now doing everything we can to bring him back to his family and home in the UK and give him the send-off he truly deserves.

This fundraiser will help with -

The costs of bringing Tom home from abroad (this can be particularly expensive) , Funeral and memorial expenses,

And to provide support for his family as they try to cope with this unimaginable loss.

Any amount you can give, no matter how small will help. And if you can’t donate, a share would mean the world.

Let’s bring our friend home and give him the love and peace he always gave to others.

Thank you.
