Hi, my name is Ally, and I am helping my cousin raise funds for Karlo Bul-Anon.

Karlo was a student in Australia and recently reported missing on 7 News and was sadly found deceased the following day. This heartbreaking loss has left the family grieving and facing unexpected financial burdens.

About him:

Karlo P. Bul-anon Left With Dreams… He Comes Home in Silence

He was only 20 years old.

At an age when most young men are still trying to find their way, he already knew his purpose. He carried his family’s hopes in his heart when he boarded a plane to Australia. He left the comfort of home, his parents’ embrace, and his brother’s laughter .

He wanted to build a better future.

He studied hard. He worked long hours. He endured homesickness in silence. There were nights he felt tired and alone, but he never gave up. Whenever he felt weak, he reminded himself why he started — for his parents, for his brother, for the family he loved more than anything.

He dreamed of the day he could finally say,

“Ma, Pa… you don’t have to work anymore.”

He dreamed and always saying of supporting his brother’s education and giving him opportunities he never had.

He was their hope. Their strength. Their pride.

But in a single heartbreaking moment, everything changed.

What was meant to be a simple swim turned into a tragedy. He drowned, and just like that, the young man full of dreams and love was taken too soon. No goodbye. No last embrace. Only silence.

Now his family waits — not for his next call or message — but for his body to come home.

The pain is unbearable. A mother’s tears fall endlessly. A father’s heart breaks in quiet suffering. A brother mourns not just a sibling, but his best friend and hero. He is loved by Relatives, friends, and everyone who knew him grieve deeply, remembering his kindness, humility, and determination.

He crossed the ocean chasing his dreams.

Now, he must cross it again — to rest at home.

many people thought that going abroad meant a better life or that his family was financially stable. But the truth is, they are not wealthy. His parents, cousins, relatives who love him so much worked hard and sacrificed so much just to support him moraly and financially so he could achieve his dreams. They believed in him. family wants to bring him back home. The financial cost of repatriating his remains from Australia is overwhelming, and in this time of unimaginable grief, they cannot carry this burden alone.

To anyone willing to extend financial assistance, any amount — big or small — will be deeply appreciated. Your generosity will help bring their beloved son home so he can finally rest in the arms of the land and the people who love him most.

Even in death, he deserves to come home.
