We are raising funds to support Cosimo — known and loved by so many as Cos or Cosy — and his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Cosimo is currently critically ill in hospital, and our hearts are with Helen, Sofi, and everyone who knows and loves him. Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing Cos will know his warmth, humour, and larger-than-life presence, especially within his taxi family and friends.

Sofi is having to cut short her trip in Australia and arrange emergency flights home to be with her dad. We want to help ease some of the financial pressure on the family so they can focus on what matters most — being together and supporting Cos — without worrying about the practical costs that come with a situation like this.

Funds raised will help with:

• Emergency travel costs for Sofi to return home

• Travel and time off work so family can be by Cos’s side

• Immediate living expenses during this difficult time

• Any additional costs the family may face in the coming weeks

This fundraiser is being organised by Roy, and Helen will be added as beneficiary so all funds go directly to her and Sofi.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will mean so much. If you’re unable to donate, sharing the link would also really help.

Thank you for your kindness and support ❤️
