️In Loving Memory of Ameiya & Ricardo Junior

Help Us Bring Maya and Jubs Home

Nothing could ever prepare a parent for the pain of losing a child let alone losing two.

During what was meant to be a joyful family holiday in Salou, Spain, Ameiya (13) and Ricardo Junior (11) lovingly known to their family and friends as Maya and Jubs heartbreakingly lost their lives in a tragic incident at sea.

Two beautiful, bright, and deeply loved children, taken far too soon. The pain their family is feeling is unimaginable.

Maya was intelligent, thoughtful, and growing into a strong young woman. Ricardo Junior was playful, kind, and always smiling. They brought so much love, laughter, and energy into the lives of everyone around them. Their absence has left an unbearable silence not just for their parents, but for their whole family, who were incredibly close and shared an unbreakable bond.

Their mum and dad, Shanice and Ricardo, are absolutely heartbroken. But they’re not grieving alone. Their siblings, cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents, and close friends are all devastated by this loss. Maya and Jubs were surrounded by a family who adored them, and who are now left trying to make sense of life without them.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of the financial burden the family is now facing, covering the costs of bringing Maya and Jubs home to the UK, giving them the dignified farewell they deserve, and supporting their parents and loved ones during this incredibly painful time.

We know that no amount of money can make this right. But together, we can help carry some of the weight.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, or simply share this page it would mean the world. Every act of kindness, every share, every kind word truly helps.

Please keep Maya, Jubs, Shanice, Ricardo, and their entire family in your hearts as they face the unimaginable.

Thank you so much for your support.
