We Reached Our Goal for Marina!

Donation protected

Hello,

 

My name is Paula Villanueva Ruano. The beautiful girl in the photo is my sister Marina Villanueva Ruano. Marina was a happy, giggly girl who was studying Computer Science at University of Leeds. This would have been her Second Year at University. She was known for being a really bubbly and crazy girl by me, her friends back home and at University. Despite that, we also knew the hard times she had been going through and tried to stick with her until the end.

 

My sister was 20 years old when I found her. She took her life in her accommodation room around the 11th of June, just 4 days away from travelling back home with my partner's and my help. I want to be able to bring her to Gran Canaria for a last goodbye as she was deeply loved by her family and friends.

 

Unfortunately I do not have all the money that I would need in order to do that and that is why I have decided after debating with her family and friends to create a GoFundMe for Marina. Any small contribution would be a massive help as they will be used to cover the costs, for her return home. This will be arranged, as soon as we are told when she would be ready to be taken back home.


I hate to have to talk about money in a post like this but I have been asked to be honest about it. I need around 7000£/8000£ to cover the costs of making sure her entire person is brought back,  as oppose to her ashes, as well as the travelling costs. I initially asked for 5000£ as it already seemed like an enormous amount of money but I have to be honest and let you know the truth of how much I need. Thank you all for your contributions and your messages 

Thank you kindly.



Thank you all your breathtaking support and immensely kind donations. I will keep you all updated on my social media about how everything goes and when we can gather for my sister's memorial. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
