A local Harrow Weald family is reaching out for community support following the unexpected loss of a father of five young children.
The family, who have lived in Harrow Weald for many years, are facing challenging times as they navigate life after this tragic event.
Carrie-Ann and her brother Aaron have set up a GoFundMe page to support their five young niece and nephews, aged 3, 4, 5, 7, and 11 years old. The fundraiser aims to help provide stability for the children and ease the financial burden on their mother, who is now a single parent.
In a statement on the GoFundMe page, Carrie-Ann wrote: “Much like their father we understand with them being such a young age, we would like to help keep them on the right track of life and help them continue life and goals and clubs/hobbies they originally had to honour their dads memory and continue to make him proud.
“With our sister now being a single parent we want to help support her financially and raise funds to ease the burden she is facing currently. At this moment of time, life has been put on hold for them all.”
She added, “All money donated will be going towards paying off the kids sports/hobby clubs and if we can keep it going, raise enough for the kids to create further memories.”
The family has expressed their gratitude for any support the community can provide during this difficult time: “We appreciate you taking the time to read our situation and if you are able to donate we would be very grateful.”
The GoFundMe page can be accessed here, and all contributions, big or small, are welcome to help support the family.
