❤️ Helping Mum After the Sudden Loss of Dad

On 17th August, our family sadly lost our dad, Andrew Barlow, unexpectedly. His passing has left a huge hole in our family, and we are all trying to navigate the shock and heartbreak of losing someone we love so much.

Our mum Vicki Barlow is now facing life without her husband while also having to worry about the financial responsibilities that have suddenly fallen on her shoulders.

Dad was not insured, and with the unexpected costs that come with losing someone, including funeral expenses, ongoing household bills and the mortgage, Mum is understandably feeling overwhelmed about how she is going to manage financially.

We are setting up this Givealittle page to take some of that pressure away from her while she grieves. Any contribution, no matter how big or small, would make a genuine difference and help Mum have some financial breathing room during an incredibly difficult time.

If you aren’t in a position to donate, we completely understand. Even sharing this page with friends and family would mean so much to us.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Mum and our family through this heartbreaking time. Your kindness, messages, love and support mean more than we can put into words.

All funds raised will go directly towards helping Mum with funeral costs, the mortgage, household bills and other essential expenses as she adjusts to life without Dad.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
