You may have seen press reports that our dear friend, colleague and mother of four adored children, Aliny was murdered on Friday 8th February in a knife attack in Ewell near to Epsom, Surrey while picking up her children from school.

Her friends, church community, colleagues and her family in Brazil and other parts of the world are in total shock at the loss of this wonderful person.

We are raising money for two purposes:

1. To repatriate Aliny’s body to her family in Brazil.

2. To pay for a lawyer to work with the family to protect the interests of the children and try and keep them all together as they will have to be fostered or adopted and there is a risk that they will be separated. There is a costly legal process that has to be followed.

Please can you find it in your hearts to support this very worthy cause and help these poor children who will now grow up without parents and furthermore, to lay Aliny to rest in her home country of Brazil.
