Hi guys, my names Angelique Franklin and I’m raising funds to help pay for my fathers funeral. Some of you reading this may know me and some of you won’t, but if there’s one thing I can let you about me, its that I LOVE my family and my dad was such a unique and strong presence within our family!

Anyone who knew my dad Elijah, will all agree that he was charming, funny, stubborn (annoyingly & admirably so lol) intelligent and had a BIG heart - he used to say to me all the time “If I have it to give, why would I not give it to those I love and in need!”

I adored that about him, his capacity to love and give; his generosity of spirit and heart is something I aspire to have more of and while I often struggle to ask for and receive help at times (like most of us I guess) this not about me and my pride, but about giving to someone who deserves to have a send off and celebration worthy of who they were and meant to a lot of people.

So this is me asking for help, YOUR help to raise £2000 to pay towards my fathers funeral, he deserves to have a service to recognise what he gave to his family, how he played an important role in shaping who his children became and for just being him!

Whatever amount you can afford to give would be received, truly appreciated and thankful for by myself and my family! (And seriously no amount is too small, as we know we are ALL dealing with this current “cost of living” madness; so help however you can - if you can- trust me it all counts and matters to us!. Xx)

Thank you in advance and god bless ❤️
