Hi, I'm a little uncomfortable doing this, but I'm reaching out for support.

My beautiful wife Joanna passed away suddenly in the early hours of Friday morning, 6th December, 2024. She leaves me and our two young daughters, Olivia, 3, and Poppy, 1, behind. We are all truly devastated.

Jo was the most beautiful person. She always saw the best in people. She was a much loved friend, beloved teacher, and the perfect mother to our girls. She was my soul mate. Describing your spouse as your rock is a well worn phrase, but I now realise Jo was exactly that to me. Without her I am lost.

I am reaching out for support towards funeral costs. Any surplus raised will help towards childcare costs, and allow me to take time away from work to help rebuild our lives. I know there are going to be tough times ahead, but I know we will get through this.

If you are able to donate any amount at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Alex
