    Story

    A family fishing trip turned to tragedy when their boat was rundown and sunk by a larger vessel that did not stop.

    Pentru traducerea în română vezi mai jos

    The family I know ran Mitch and Grandad's Bike Shop in Elm Grove, Brighton. Mitch was a lovely, honest, extremely hard working man with a loving family. He has left behind a 3 year old son, three older children and his wife, who not only lost her husband in this disaster but also her brother. Mitch worked many hours a day to support his family, although most people have seen the news coverage there are serious immediate issues. They were not a well off family they have no savings and since the incident they have had to rely on the foodbank to feed themselves. When Mitch is found, there will be a funeral to organise which is hugely expensive not to mention day-to-day living costs, , as well as unforeseen expenses due to the nature of this incident. People are working unpaid to keep the bike shop open for customers to collect their bikes which were going to be serviced or repaired. The family are heartbroken enough without worrying to get through day- to- day financially. Please, please donate the smallest amount as it will make a huge difference. The council are aware of this issue but it can take months to set up and debt is such a huge worry. Any monies will be shared equally between Mitch's and his brother in laws family, who leaves a wife and three children.

    O călătorie de pescuit familială s-a transformat într-o tragedie când barca lor a fost răsturnată și scufundată de o navă mai mare care nu s-a oprit.

    Familia pe care o cunosc a lucrat la Mitch and Grandad's Bike Shop din Elm Grove, Brighton. Mitch era un om minunat, cinstit, cu o putere de munca extraordinara , cu o familie iubitoare. El a lăsat în urmă un fiu de 3 ani, trei copii mai mari și soția sa, care nu numai că și-a pierdut soțul în acest dezastru, ci și pe fratele ei. Mitch a lucrat multe ore pe zi pentru a-și susține familia, deși majoritatea oamenilor au văzut la știri ca există probleme grave imediate. Ei nu sunt o familie de bogătași din acest motiv nu au economii și din cauza incidentului au trebuit să se bazeze pe banca de alimente pentru a se hrăni. Când se găsește Mitch, va fi o înmormântare de organizat, care este extrem de scumpă, fără a menționa costurile de trai zilnice, chiria, gazele, energia electrică etc., precum și cheltuielile neprevăzute din cauza naturii acestui incident. Oamenii lucrează neplătiți  pentru a păstra magazinul de biciclete deschis pentru ca clienții să-și colecteze bicicletele care urmau să fie întreținute sau reparate. Familia are sufletul destrămat, nu reusesc sa se mai gandeasca  si la cheluielile zilnice din punct de vedere financiar. Vă rugăm să donați suma cea mai mică, deoarece va face o mare diferență. Primaria a luat cunoștință de această problemă, dar poate dura luni până la acordarea unui ajutor concret, iar datoria este o mare îngrijorare. Orice bani va fi împărțit în mod egal între familia lui Mitch și cea a cumnatului sau, care lasă o soție și trei copii.
