Story
My brother Joseph moved to America last year, but he had recently been wanted to move back to the UK to be with us.
We have just had the devastating phone call that he died suddenly last night. He suffered 2 seizures last night (27th may 2017) the 2nd one he didn't recover from.
There was no time to phone a doctor or get to a hospital.
We don't know as of yet what the cause of this seizure was but my family and my mum are now left with the fact we can't see him or get to him.
We have all the details for the British consulate and on Tuesday we will be phoning to let them know that we need him sent home to us, however this is something that is very expensive and difficult to do.
Please if youve read this far please donate what you can to help us get our brother and son home.
Thank you
Kristina

7 years agoHi all, we have done so far to date and the donations and emotional support we have recieved has been so amazing and we are eternally grateful. We have been able to have Joseph sent home now but the bill is still outstanding, aswell as medical bills in the US and the funeral this end. Please please please can we have one last push before this page ends to help us get these bills sorted. This has devastated our family and the worry of getting him home and paying the huge bills is amplifying the situation. Thank you for reading Kristina x

7 years agoThank you so so much for all the support we have received so far. It's quite overwhelming to see how generous and caring people can be. I am going to increase the target for 2 reasons. 1 although we are still awaiting word from the chief examiner, research we have done shows that just the specialised coffin we will need to transport him on such a long flight will cost thousands. Without any of the medical fees out there. 2 once we get home we need to arrange a funeral. Thanks so much again for your continued support xxx
