Story
Our father, Trevor Fleming, passed away in Cambodia on Wednesday 15th July 2020 and we need to bring him home.
Dad developed blood poisoning almost overnight from what we believe was a spider bite. His organs failed, before he ultimately passed away having had a heart attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He was traveling alone.
His flight home was booked and Elise had planned to have dinner with him on Friday. It has come as a horrible shock - we are completely heartbroken. Having lost our Mum in 2015 as well, we are turning to our friends to ask for support during this time.
Unfortunately Dad did not have any kind of insurance, and so we are liable for the costs of his return to the UK, as well as funeral arrangements, etc. We are doing everything we can to control and manage the situation by liaising with funeral directors, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the embassy over in Cambodia, but we can only do so much.
The costs of repatriation have drastically increased as a result of the global pandemic. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and embassy are unable to offer any financial support so we must cover the costs ourselves.
If you knew our Dad (everybody did!) then you will know how proud of a man he was. He would never ask for help, but now he needs it - we need it. We need to get him home and have our chance to say goodbye to him.
All of the money raised will contribute towards getting our Dad home to us and saying goodbye.
Thank you so much for your support.
Jared and Elise, x

4 years agoHi Everyone. We are relieved to be able to share the news with your help, we have been able to get our Dad home to the UK. He was received at Heathrow yesterday evening. Thank you all so, so much for your kindness and generosity. We are so grateful. The support has been more than anything we could have ever expected. We do not yet have any information on Dad's funeral or the wake, so please bear with us while we try to arrange things as safely as possible. Thank you again. You really have saved us. Jared & Elise, x

4 years agoHi Everybody, We have been so, so overwhelmed & moved by the response we've had so far. We knew Dad was loved, but we never expected this. We can't thank you enough for the donations and support we've received from you all. Every penny raised means so much. Thank you. We have yet to receive final bills and costs, so will be keeping the page open until we can be sure we've raised what we need to bring Dad home and give him the send off he so deserves. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. We are so grateful. Love, Jared & Elise, x
