In Loving Memory Of Joseph Xuereb.

Donation protected
Im raising money on behalf of my mum. 
Her beloved partner, father of her youngest children, step father to me and my brother, Joseph Xuereb.
Joe was a great man, with so many funny stories and his fair share of silly moments.
On October 25th 2018 Joe was asleep, and my mum went to wake him. Joe didn't wake up, i attempted cpr and the ambulance services did all the could go return him to us, but Joes battle was over. He couldn't come back to us. His sleep apnea was a contributing factor to this sudden death.
This happened the day before my little brothers birthday. 
Joe was an extraordinary man, he did a parachute jump from a plane for charity, had his body waxed for charity.
He also collected and re made air plane models, and even had some models he had made requested to be put on show in Chelmsford museum, joe was an amazing artist and loved fishing.
He was a huge part of the PTA at ella and albies school, and as part of that had many friends, some teachers, some parents. He helped at all the clubs he could, and always done above and beyond for the school and the kids. 
Joe really was an amazing man who did whatever he could for everyone.
Even after he broke his back, neck and sternum he carried on helping where he could, and the last year or so he was doing amazing things, he was an amazing man.
He chose to take me and Daniel on as his own kids and was a great step dad who cared greatly about us as well as ella and albie. Joe was also an amazing grandad to my children, james and esmé love joe dearly and will both miss him terribly. Only a few weeks ago he took my children for a week so i could recover from a mental breakdown. He took them to the park, shopping in the town, for bus rides and to a church play group so i could focus on getting better. He really did so much with them and for them.

Because this was such a sudden death and totally unprepared for, Joe was only 49! We haven't got the funds for his funeral, and i know so many people have asked if they can help us in any way. Please, just £1 would make a huge difference, my mums hours at work need to be cut, the kids are missing their dad, and i miss my step dad and we want to give him the best send off.
If you wanted to buy flowers or a card to express your sympathy, please instead send the money you would spend towards joes funeral. He would be so amazed and touched at how many of you have shown you care.
Whatever we make extra from this donation a portion of it will be going to 2 charities, the essex ambulance service and a sleep apnea charity, 2 causes we as a family feel deserve some recognition.
Thank you all for reading this. Please share and donate what you can, it really means the world to my family. ❤
