Help Solaine's family during this cruel nightmare
Donation protected
I am writing this on behalf of a long, close family friendship to hopefully help a devasted family, who cannot believe that their loving and tight-knit family has been torn apart.
Adrian and Rachael are a married couple that have been together since college days. They relocated to France early on in their marriage and went on to have two daughters, Solaine, 11 and Celeste 8.
They have had many adventures in France, which includes renovating and re-opening a hotel. They recently settled in Saint - Herbot in Brittany and loved their home so much that they made the plunge from renting to purchasing it.
Family life was good; Adrian was exceptionally good at DIY and did lots of jobs within the local area and Rachael devoted her time as a carer, with both the girls being settled within the local schools.
Unfortunately, life for all of them changed on Saturday 10th June during a family barbeque. There had been tensions with their elderly neighbours over the past few years and for some unbeknown reason, that night, the elderly neighbour decided to take out his shot gun and shoot dead young Solaine, shoot her mother twice whilst she was cradling Solaine and shoot Adrian in the head. The youngest Celeste, very bravely, managed to escape to another neighbour's house.
Obviously, the killing of any child is devasting and needless. This family has been torn apart. Currently, Adrian is in a coma in ICU, Rachael is having her second bout of surgery to help remove the bullets and Celeste, having witnessed the killing of her sibling and serious wounding of her parents is being treated for shock.
I am asking for people to donate whatever they can afford to help this family pay for their daughter's funeral or any other expenses related directly or indirectly due to this senseless killing of their child and attack on their beautiful family.
Please see attached a newspaper clip of the horrendous incident as some details are too upsetting to write about. This family will not be receiving any sick pay and like many families, have lots of outgoings, which includes the care of many animals they also own. Please help if you can.
Rosalind Rhodes is listed as the beneficiary. She is Rachael's sister and is helping to organise the family's financial accounts whilst they are recovering, so she will be overseeing the withdrawl and management of any funds.
