Ismael was a loving son to his mum Maria, a wonderful brother to Manuel and Gisela, a caring grandson and a good friend to many. Tragically his life has been cut short at the young age of 19 in a road traffic accident.

No parent is ever prepared for the loss of a child, especially in such tragic circumstances. I know Ismaels mum, Maria, personally as a friend and a neighbour and know there is nothing that she wouldnt do for all three of her children. I want to do something to help her and her family through this difficult time and after speaking to parents fom our local school, it seems I am not alone.

I woud like us, as a communiy to raise some money towards the cost of the funeral. Any amount will be hugely appreciated, and although it will not take away the pain, I would like to think it would take away a small amount of pressure, at what is an incredibly difficult time.

I have spoken with Maria and have her blessing to do this, and she was overwhelmed that myself and others care so much. No parent should have to go through what she is going through now.

Please, if you can help in anyway, please do
