Anthony needs our help, sudden loss of his mother
Donation protected
With the unexpected loss of his Mother, Anthony needs our help to travel home
Today 18th August, my brother-in-law's World turned upside down.
Anthony received a phone call on the 15th of August to inform him that his mother, Katrien, was rushed to the hospital by ambulance; they said his mother was battling a lung infection and needed oxygen immediately.
Throughout the day/night, Katrien's condition sadly declined, and she needed to be placed on a ventilator as she could no longer breathe on her own.
Anthony sadly received a phone call today, 18th August, informing him that his mother had unfortunately passed away.
Ontop of all of this, Anthony's father has been in hospital for the last two weeks and has had to have his leg amputated.
Anthony has not seen his family in almost ten years; we would love to be able to get him home to South Africa to be with his father and siblings to allow him to grieve the loss of his mother.
Finances are currently very tight for Anthony and his wife, as they are currently in the process of applying for indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom, where they reside with their minor daughter.
We hope to raise enough funds for air tickets/plane tickets and to help ease some of the daily expenses the family will incur with the loss of work during this time.
If you can donate anything, big or small, we will forever appreciate it. Your donations will allow my brother-in-law to grieve with his family without the extra financial stress.
Thank you,
Candice (on behalf of Anthony & his family)
