Weʼve raised £2,096 to raise funds in memory of Heidrun Thawe
- Funded on Thursday, 8th December 2022
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
In February we received the devastating news that our dear friend and colleague Heidrun Thawe had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She was a young, vibrant team leader, working fulltime in Waltham Forest to lead and support her team, juggling her work and home life, and devoted to her family and lovely young sons, Chisomo and Elias.
Sadly, just 9 months since this unexpected diagnosis, and despite all her positivity, faith, determination and the love and devotion of her family and friends, on 1 November Heidrun lost her fight with this aggressive brain cancer.
Her loss is felt by all of us who were privileged to have known and worked alongside her. Whilst we can never take away the pain that her sons will feel having lost their beautiful mum, as a team we would like to raise some funds in memory of Heidrun, that can be spent however their father Edward feels would benefit them at this very difficult time.

1 year agoSo I have now found that justgiving will keep a page open for at least one month ( I didnt read the smallprint!) so the page will close in December. I will withdraw the monies raised thus far to transfer to Edward. The money you have all so kindly donated will enable the boys to go away over Christmas to visit family and will be a great help to Edward. Many many thanks to you all for your generosity. As the link is stil open please do share with anyone who knew Heidrun and wishes to donate Thank you

1 year agoHuge thanks to everyone for your donations and for your messages about our wonderful friend and colleague. I will ensure that Heidrun's family see all that you have written. It is so hard to believe that she had gone however reading your lovely words shows that Heidrun will live on in our hearts and memories forever. I shall keep this page open for donations until Friday 25th November and then will close the link. This will enable the monies to be processed and transferred to Edward and the boys next week.
