Christmas tragedy. Sending beloved mother home.

My name is Faith Zinyemba, with a heavy heart, I am reaching out to you today seeking your support for Valerie Munashe Makuwe- a practising nurse in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, who recently faced the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Mavis Clinic Manyonga who came from Zimbabwe to celebrate Christmas with her daughter and family in Letterkenny. Tragedy struck within 24 hours of her arrival, she suffered a cardiac arrest, leaving Valerie and her family shattered.

The sudden loss has left Valerie inconsolable, and she now faces the immense challenge of bringing her mother's remains back to Zimbabwe for a proper burial. The repatriation costs, along with the associated funeral expenses, have placed a significant financial burden on the family (€10500). Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a profound difference in helping Valerie bring her mother home and give her a dignified send-off.

Thank you for making a difference this Christmas by bringing comfort to a heartbroken daughter during her time of need.
