* We are truly grateful for the initial SEK60 000, due to our humble request it would seem the funds did not meet the full repatriation and funeral costs and, due to unforeseen transaction fees we have opened up additional donations up until SEK90 000. 

*We do understand that this might be a rather uncomfortable request from us. 

* We appreciate everything you have done for us thus far. 

As most of you know, we said goodbye to Lutando on the 7th of July 2021 as he passed peacefully with friends and family by his side in Stockholm, Sweden.

Lutando moved to Sweden on the 8th of July 2017 to pursue his never-ending quest to grow as a developer and aid his passion for music. It was in these spaces that Lutando touched the lives of so many people - relayed in unfathomable amounts of condolences and messages over the past two weeks. He was the life of every group, a best friend to many, and a person you could be proud to have as part of your life.

Lutando's family, following their Xhosa tradition, will be repatriating Lutando back to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) in South Africa. As you can imagine, repatriation is a highly costly endeavour, and it is thus the reason for this gofundme to support Lutando and his family and get him back home where he can rest.
