On Tuesday 7 April 2026, Basir and Sammi's world changed forever when they lost their much-loved 17-year-old son, Absi. His passing has left a deep and unimaginable pain in the hearts of his parents and his brother, Adil, as well as the many friends who adored him, including myself Theo, and his friends, Harry, Will and Jack.

Absi was a bright, kind, funny young man with his whole future ahead of him. He was a loyal friend, a loving son, and someone who brought warmth and laughter wherever he went. His loss has shaken our entire community.

In the midst of their grief, Basir and Sammi are understandably unable to return to work.

This fundraiser has been created with the family's blessing to give them the space, time, and support they need. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain and allow them to focus on grieving, healing, and supporting each other.

All funds will go directly to Basir and Sammi to help with:

. Funding vital life saving equipment and safety signs to make the area safer.

• Building water wells for homes in Afghanistan. 

• Helping rebuilding lives in Yemen through a Charity relief mission

• Funeral and memorial costs

• Household bills and living expenses while they are unable to work

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this heartbreaking time. Your help means more than you know.

From Your Best Friends - Theo, Harry, Will & Jack

We are writing this as four boys who were lucky enough to call Absi our best mate. It still doesn't feel real that he's gone. He was the person who made everything better, the one who made us laugh, the one who brought everyone together, the one who never let anyone feel left out.

Absi wasn't just our mate. He was our brother.

He had this way of walking into a room and changing the whole mood with his smile. He was funny without trying, kind without thinking, and loyal in a way you don't often see at our age.

We grew up together, made memories we'll never forget, and planned a future we thought we'd all be part of.

Losing him has changed us forever.

We've seen how heartbroken his family are, Basir, Sammi and Adil, and we want to do whatever we can to support them. We want to be there for them the way Absi was always there for us.

We miss Absi more than we can ever explain.

We'll carry him with us for the rest of our lives.
