Story
My friend and colleague Devon has lost his lifelong parter Beverley to cancer at the age of only 49.
Only 6 weeks after her passing he has also lost his father to the same.
The family are devastated and I am helpless to ease their suffering. Devons family live modestly with Devon as the sole wage earner. He works exceptionally hard as a Police Officer and also as a volunteer Pastor at his church, dedicating time money and effort serving others in work and out. He is now having to consider leaving the police to find a job more suited to single parent life.
It is my goal, and that of Devon's friends and colleagues, to raise enough money to send him, and his 3 lovely children, on a much needed holiday to the happiest place on earth - Disney Florida.
Devon has told me so many times how much he'd love to take the family there but the reality is that he could never afford such an expense.
Please help us to show Devon and his family that despite the cruel circumstances, people truly care, and that they can find some happiness again.
In memory of an outstandingly kind and generous lady who would no doubt be looking down with joy. Beverley.

I'm crowdfunding for a good friend of mine with whom I have shared the joys & turmoil of police life and whom has now suffered a loss unthinkable to me. I feel for his family & want to help. I have never done fundraising before so this is new (and daunting) for me. Please help!
