Iʼve raised £5,320 to Help Cristina's sons following her tragic death.
- Funded on Thursday, 5th January 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Tragically our nanny/housekeeper Cristina died on 5th December following a brain haemorrhage. She leaves behind two fabulous sons who we will be doing all we can to help both emotionally and financially at this terrible time. However, we thought that as many of our friends and family knew Cristina, some of you may want to donate towards a fund for them. There is absolutely no obligation and we won't be chasing anyone for this but if anyone would like to I know two very deserving boys would be very grateful.

8 years agoDear all thank you so much for your donations. I have agreed with the boys that they will each receive a monthly allowance of £120 for 1 year. They will each then get their half of the balance on their 18th birthdays. This will make such a difference to them.

8 years agoCristina was such a great character. The house feels very empty without her and if our family is feeling like this then I can't begin to imagine how her own sons are feeling right now. Whether you're Christian or not, for most people Christmas is a time to spend with your family. Adrian and Alex are going to feel their loss even more keenly this weekend. Whilst the money raised won't bring their mum back, it will help to give them some security and, just as importantly, to pay for some fun - something they will need to learn to have again.

8 years agoWow! Thank you all for helping me more than quadruple my original target. I feel so humbled by everyone's support. But now I'm thinking... Why not £5000? Can you help me reach that figure?

8 years agoI just wanted to let you all know that the money raised will be held on trust for Alex and Adrian's sole benefit. We propose getting driving lessons for Adrian as he turns 17 this month and we will also use it to buy them each a Christmas present (they've not had Christmas presents for years). As they need things, we will make sure that they know to come to us and the money will be spent as and when it's needed. We can never bring their Mum back but thanks to you all, we can help them in practical ways over the next few years of their lives.
