Story
We are overwhelmed by the love, support & incredible amount of messages we have received since our beautiful Donna was cruelly taken from us on the 6th on January by corona virus at the age of 42. We are continually being asked about funeral arrangements, flowers and donations so we have had an idea……
Some of you may be aware that Donna tragically lost one of her closest friends, very suddenly, 5 years ago, at age 37. She made a promise to her that she would continue to be a part of her daughters life and keep her mum's memories alive. She kept to her word and has been a huge part of her life collecting her from school on a Wednesday, having tea with her, doing homework with her, taking her shopping, having her over to sleep and taking her to the seaside. Donna treated her as her own.
This little girl who is now 6 and a huge part of Donna's life, is asking why Aunty Donna has been taken to be with her mum, and if it means that she won't be picking her up from school or be able to take her on holidays or to London to see a show like she promised 💔. Life is just so cruel at times💔
We feel as a family that the right thing to do is to allow the promises Donna made to this little girl to be carried out as it would be what Donna wanted.
So we have decided that any donations received will be put in trust for her, so that when she's old enough she will be able to go travelling, with Aunty Donna by her side, in spirit.
Please be kind enough to donate to this cause rather than sending gifts or flowers as we really feel that by doing so Donna's wish to look out for her little princess will be fulfilled xx

4 years agoUnbelievable, we on our way to hitting £12,000. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have been supported by everyone over the last month. It still doesn't feel real, we feel robbed, angry & devastated, but are getting some comfort from the kindness shown here. The messages are beautiful and knowing that Donna would be overwhelmed with the love shared is helping. Thank you so much. Please continue to share to help us to give Amalee a real start to her adult life ❤️🌈 xx

4 years agoThank you so much. It is because of your overwhelming generosity, kindness and support that the Daily Mirror has found out about Donna. Her story has been chosen to represent the campaign to vaccinate all teaching staff. She would be 100% behind this as Donna was frightened to go to work as she didn't feel protected enough and was too scared for personal reasons to voice her concerns. As a family we would like to thank you for your continued support. We will do everything we can to raise awareness to protect others ❤️
