I currently find myself in an impossible situation. Two months ago, my older brother Lee was murdered, he was 39. My Mum, family and I were (and are) understandably devastated at how this could happen and how we would cope. It's been one of the worst periods of my life.

Then last week, my Mum, Penelope, also passed away suddenly. To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement. It's unimaginable and I'm finding it almost impossible to fathom. After losing both sons at such an early age, she has now been taken from me. I can't even begin to imagine the pain she must have suffered, this is amplified by the pain I now feel.

I've had messages from various people asking if they can make donations, some of Lee's friends (and mine) have kindly done so. However, I now need to pay for two funerals, a position I thought I would never, ever be in. Any donation made would be used to help towards funeral costs and anything else I may need to pay for.
