Rute Thomas burial fund

Donation protected

Hi, this is Simone, Chris, & Talita, we are fund raising for our friend Rute Thomas who died suddenly last week from a massive brain haemorrhage, aged just 45 and leaving behind her beloved 10 year old daughter Sophia. Her distraught mother cannot bear the idea of cremation, which goes against her Christian beliefs, but the family are very poor and cannot afford a burial without your help. Rute was an intelligent and hugely caring health-care worker. She has no family other than Sophia in the UK, her family live in Brazil.

Rute was always smiling and happy, helping everyone, even after her death. She has donated all her organs to give others a chance of life. Rute worked hard to support herself and care for Sophia, sending any spare money home to her mother in Brazil. The suddenness of her passing has been a huge shock to all her friends and colleagues here in the UK and her family in Brazil. She had no savings or money put by to pay for a funeral so if you can help her friends raise the money needed to cover a very simple burial, as her mother wishes and she herself would have chosen, please donate whatever you can afford..
