    Iʼve raised £4,265 to for Sorin Mihai's repatriation back to his homeland in Romania allowing his family there to bury him appropriately.

    Glasgow, United Kingdom
    Funded on Wednesday, 3rd May 2017

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Sorin Mihai lived and working in the UK after moving here almost thirty years ago, having travelled around he spent most of his adult life residing in Glasgow, Scotland.

    Sorin was a charming, funny and kind person who worked hard supporting his elderly parents in rural Romania who depended on his financial support.

    Having visited his family and seeing how they live it's hard to imagine how they will cope now he is gone.

    We are now raising funds to take his body home (repatriated) so he can be buried by his family in the village he was born.

    Sorin was a very proud person who would never openly ask for charity but given the situation I know he would be grateful for your generosity and allow me this one last kind act.

    Thank you sincerely in advance.

    James

      The Justgiving page for Sorin ends tmrw, it's hard to believe that it's been over a month since he passed on. It's hard to word how grateful his family are for your kind generosity. Thank you to everyone who donated, those who offered words of condolences, offered up prayers and kind thoughts. A special thanks to his work colleges for providing their time, energy and generous use of Brutti for his goodbye gathering. A huge thank you from me for the support I've had from strangers, family and friends old and new alike. Much Love xxx

      Final update: Sorin was buried on Saturday 15th April at 10am our time in the local graveyard in his village in Suharău, Botoșani, Romania. It's really thanks to everyone who generously donated that he's there and his family can have their son laid to rest at home. The just giving page shall run until 4th May if anyone wants to donate, in truth his mother and father have acquired bills that need to be settled to finalise things once and for all so any additional funds will help pay them. Thank you again to everyone for the support x

      The latest news on Sorin. The repatriation agency collected him on Monday and today he will be arriving home. The family have funeral costs over and above the repatriation agencies fee and we could still use your help. If you can please share this post as every penny will help them cover the burial costs and provide money for a headstone. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love and Light James x

    I have known Sorin for almost twenty years! like most people I was stuck by his charm and polite confident demeanour, warm and caring soul. I have had the privilege to travel to Romania with him to be introduced to his family as 'family'. I will miss him dearly every day x RIP
