Story
I am setting up this page for my sister Elaine Wheeler and her 4 children .
Her husband Tommy and father of her children, tragically died on 27/1/18.
He was struggling with his mental health due to terrible events that occurred during his childhood, devastatingly Tommy lost the battle which led to him taking his own life. We only wish he had spoken more about his feelings but he kept them inside eating away at him.
Tommy, much loved father and husband was 45 years old and a very hard working man. He tried tirelessly to make the best of things and build a good life for himself and his family.
I am hoping to raise £5,000 to help ease the families massive financial pressure as Tommy was the sole breadwinner and took great pride in providing for the ones he loved.
Tommy leaves behind his wife Elaine aged 36 and their 4 young children.The financial hardship they will now face to cover funeral costs and daily living, is a stress I would like to be able to take away from them by raising some money to help during this heartbreaking time. Any other moneys raised will be donated to a charity chosen by Elaine.
This is a truly terrible time, and I would do anything to make things easier for them all.
There is now a gaping hole in our family and he will be a huge loss in so many peoples lives, This was a man with a truly massive heart and he would do anything for anybody.
RIP Tommy.
