Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted people,

Never in my life could I have imagined the events that have led me to this. I write this with a heavy heart, overwhelmed by the loss my family and I have endured over the past three years. My name is Matthew Brown, and I am a grieving partner and father to two young boys, aged 7 and 14. We are struggling with unimaginable pain, and I humbly reach out for your support during this incredibly difficult time.

Over the past three years, life has dealt us blow after blow. We lost my mother, my boys’ beloved grandmother, three years ago. Just one month ago, we said goodbye to my father, who had been fading away before our eyes as dementia stole him piece by piece.

Amid these heartbreaking losses, my beautiful partner of 25 years, Sharon the boys mum, was fighting a courageous battle against cancer. Despite her immense strength and will to live for our family, the disease, which began in her lung, kidney, and adrenal glands before spreading to her brain, took her from us on November 17, 2024. She was our world – a loving partner and incredible mother, and the heart of our family. Her passing has left a void that words cannot begin to describe.

My boys and I are utterly devastated, grappling not only with the emotional pain of losing her but also with the challenge of honouring her memory. We want nothing more than to give our angel the beautiful memorial she deserves – a chance to celebrate her life and preserve her legacy for our children.

We work hard but with the heartbreak of losing the boys mum, looking after her these final months and trying to find alternate income we are desperate.
This is why I am turning to you for help. We are humbly asking for donations to assist us in bridging the gap to honour Sharon’s memory and keep what we have worked hard together for. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us create a fitting tribute to her life and ensure she lives on in mine and our boys lives.

Your support would mean the world to us – not just financially, but as a reminder that we are not alone in our grief. Whether through a donation or simply by sharing our story, you can help us find a way forward as we begin the long journey of healing.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.

With gratitude and love,

Matthew, Bronson & Byron
