Iris Jean B Rogales Repatriation and funeral fund

Donation protected
I am raising money on behalf of my aunty Iris Jean Rogales, a woman of beautiful character, loved by many and will never be forgotten. My aunty Jean was suddenly taken away from us due to an aneurysm rupture causing her to have Subarachnoid hemorrhage which led to severe irreversible brain damage leading to the cause of death brain death, my aunty had an operation the night of the rupture called a clipping to stop the excessive bleeding in and around the brain however the damage caused to the brain was extensive and my aunty never woke up from the surgery although she fought hard to stay alive and lasted 4 days with the help of the ventilation machine and the lovely hardworking doctors and nurses which attended to my aunty Jean continuously throughout the day and night and unfortunately we heard the heartbreaking news on the 4th night that they needed to conduct brain stem testing to see if my aunty had any brain activity due to the excessive bleeding, which came back negative. That was the night our whole lives fell apart, myself and my family stayed at the hospital every day and night incase my aunty woke up from the surgery however that wasnt the case and we are now lost and broken. My aunty Jean was of Filipino nationality and was living in Dubai and working there as a general accountant, my aunty decided to come to England for a holiday with her daughter Mai and on the 14th June 2019 she suffered the fatal aneurysm rupture at the age of 52 years old my aunty then suffered 3 strokes which caused further severe bleeding into the brain. The 15 days we got to spend with my aunty whilst she was on holiday were the best days of my life, we laughed everyday and night until we were in tears, she told us stories of her childhood along with her siblings and we will never forget those stories as they made us all laugh out aloud until our bellies ached. I miss my aunty terribly but I know she is in a better place now as much as it hurts to accept because it happened so suddenly with no warning we are at peace that she managed to help alot of terminally sick people after her death. I am trying to raise money for the repatriation back to the Philippines and help with the funeral expenses, we would also like to buy a memorial death plaque in memory of our beautiful aunty Iris Jean Rogales the most selfless, humble and joyful person I've ever met in my entire life. Any help given will be greatly appreciated.
