Help hero's children following his untimely death

Donation protected
Our brother, Lewis, passed away unexpectedly at home on the 21st January 2023 leaving behind his amazing wife Jodie and three young sons, Frankie (9), Lewie (7), and Reggie (4), as well as his step children Kia (23) and Will (18).

We are hoping to raise as much funds as possible to help the boys make some happy memories and to support them with things they may need. The night before our brother passed away he was talking with his wife and the boys about them all taking a trip to Disney Land Paris, something my sister in law would love to be able to honor.

Our brother was a true national hero, here is the background leading upto his untimely death,

On the 15th of December 2020 our brother Lewis Mulhearn, the captain of the Galwad Y Mor vessel, heroically saved six crew members from disaster when their ship came into contact with a WWII bomb. Despite suffering life changing injuries including three broken vertebrae, a broken sternum, knee damage, a broken orbital bone and multiple face lacerations, he ensured the safety of all of his crew members and was last to leave the vessel. As such, Lewis was awarded the 2021 Emile Robin Award from The Shipwrecked Mariners' Society presented by Princess Ann to recognise his heroic and selfless actions in rescuing fellow survivors during the extremely perilous incident.

For two years lewis suffered both mentally and physically and as a result of the many injuries caused and Lewis sadly passed away at home on January 21st.

It’s been an incredibly difficult period for our family, but we are concerned about what the future will hold for our nephews now their daddy is no longer with us.

The boys had this to say about their hero daddy

Frankie
My dad was the only dad I will ever have . I wish I could bring him back, He will be my hero for the rest of my life, he will always be in my heart and the stars.

Lewie
Dad was the best hero in the world, he was the best dad in the world. I love him so much I wish I could bring him back.

Reggie
I love my dad , he was a hero , he saved everyone on the boat, I love my dad.

This is why we are hoping to raise as much money as possible, to support them. Thank you in advance for your generosity, kindness and support.
