Aster, 21 ans, ma fille - Aster, my daughter

Hello everyone,

My name is Shewitom, and I am reaching out to you in my darkest hour. I recently lost my beloved daughter, Aster, under tragic circumstances as she dreamed of building a better future.

Aster had just reunited with me in France after eight long years of separation. Those precious months we spent together brought so much light into my life, but they were heartbreakingly short. Filled with hope and determination, Aster set out on a journey to England, a journey she was never able to complete.

Now, my only wish is to honor her memory by bringing her home to Eritrea, our birthplace. I want her to rest in peace alongside her grandparents, who loved and cared for her deeply, on the land where she truly belongs.

Unfortunately, I do not have the financial means to cover the costs of repatriating her body and arranging her burial. That’s why I am turning to you for help. Your generosity—whether through a donation or by sharing this message—can help me give Aster the dignified farewell she deserves.

No contribution is too small, and every act of kindness brings me closer to laying my daughter to rest with the love and honor she deserves.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me through this unimaginable time.

With gratitude and love,

Shewitom

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Je m'appelle Shewitom, et c’est le cœur lourd que je m’adresse à vous aujourd’hui. J’ai perdu ma fille, Aster, dans des circonstances tragiques alors qu’elle rêvait d’un avenir meilleur.

Aster avait enfin pu me rejoindre en France après 8 longues années de séparation. Ces quelques mois que nous avons partagés étaient un rayon de soleil dans ma vie, mais hélas, ils furent bien trop courts. Aster, pleine d’espoir et de courage, a entrepris un voyage vers l’Angleterre, un voyage qu’elle n’aura malheureusement jamais terminé.

Dans ma douleur, je souhaite honorer ma fille comme le veut notre coutume. Mon seul souhait est de la ramener en Érythrée, notre terre natale, pour qu’elle repose près de ses grands-parents qui l’ont tant aimée, sur nos terres où elle aurait dû grandir entourée des siens.

Malheureusement, je n’ai pas les moyens de couvrir les frais de rapatriement et d’enterrement. C’est pourquoi je fais appel à votre cœur et à votre générosité. Chaque don, petit ou grand, est une pierre précieuse qui nous rapproche de cette dernière chance d’offrir à Aster un adieu digne de l’amour et de la tendresse qu’elle a portés dans nos vies.

Votre soutien, qu’il soit financier ou simplement en partageant ce message autour de vous, est inestimable.

Du fond du cœur, merci de m’aider à offrir à ma fille la paix qu’elle mérite.

Avec toute ma gratitude,

Shewitom
