Help Shota's Family

Sadly we saw the untimely passing of our dear friend Shota Kotake late last month. This news has been devastating to his close friends, but particularly the weight has been heavy on his dear family.

Shota's family all live in Japan. They are currently making plans to travel to Ireland and have his body cremated in Dublin, then have the ashes returned to Japan, and also hope to transport back home some of his belongings.

This trip is proving costly for his family with flights, hotels, funeral proceedings, translation and shipping costs back to Japan - with estimated costs amounting in the region of €12,000. These costs are arriving suddenly and causing further stress to a family already hurting.

We are crowdfunding on behalf of Shota's family, to help them with this difficult journey. All proceeds with go directly to support his family.

Please give whatever you feel comfortable giving. Thank you for reading.
