Repatriation for our Friend Ricky

Donation protected
Ricky is a great friend to a lot of people. Ricky was always full of happiness and was very kind to everyone around him. We can still hear his laughter and feel his warm smile in our hearts. Ricky died suddenly and our hearts are broken because of his death. 

We have worked with Ricky in the Downhill House Hotel in Ballina, Co. Mayo (now Twin Trees Hotel). Just like most of us non-nationals, Ricky came to Ireland to work so he can support his family back in Indonesia. We, Filipinos, maybe a bit more fortunate to have our own small Filipino community here in Ireland to support us in times like this but for poor Ricky, unfortunately, he is on his own- no family in Ireland, no relatives and no other Indonesian friend close enough to help him. So we appeal to those who knew Ricky and to anyone with a kind heart to help us help send Ricky's body home to his family in Indonesia. 

The communication with Ricky's family is a huge challenge because of the language barrier. We hope that through this humble gesture and through your generosity that we will all be able to show Ricky's family that he is loved and that there are genuine people here in Ireland who cared about him. 

We thank you so much in advance for any help you can give.

Ricky may your gentle soul rest in peace! You will be dearly missed.
