Tragic Loss in Crumlin, County Antrim, Northern Ireland

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and her husband, Ralph Anthony Singco.

Kith and Ralph were dedicated members of our community who spent their lives in service to others as healthcare workers. Kith served with compassion as a Nurse, and Ralph was a devoted Care Assistant. Their lives were defined by their kindness and their commitment to the health and well-being of those in their care.

On Sunday, January 11, 2026, Cathrene was involved in a devastating two-car collision near Nutts Corner in Crumlin. Tragically, Cathrene, who was 7 months pregnant in her 30s, passed away following the accident. The heartbreak deepened as her unborn baby also lost her life as a result of the collision. Her husband, Ralph, who was also in the vehicle and fought for his life in the hospital, passed away today, January 13, 2026.

Our Goal: Bringing Them Home

The Singco family were valued members of our community, but their roots and extended families are in the Philippines. It is the shared and heartfelt wish of both Cathrene’s and her husband’s families to bring them back to their home country.

We are aiming to raise £10,000 to assist with the significant financial burden of this tragedy.

The process of international repatriation is complex and carries significant financial costs. We are launching this fundraiser to help cover:

* Repatriation expenses for Cathrene, her husband, and their baby.

* Funeral and memorial services in the Philippines.

* Travel and logistical support for the grieving families during this difficult time.
