    Donations in memory of Saúl Balogh Jones

    It is with great sadness that we inform you that Saúl passed away on Saturday 9th of July in very tragic circumstances. We are raising money to support his mum who has lost her beautiful 14 year old son. Saúl's mum, Sonia Balogh, is a single mother of her only child Saúl and was his main carer as he was a special child with extra needs.

    We would love to raise as much money as possible to help support Sonia with the funeral costs and any inmediate cost that could rise. This is why we have set up this page where you choose how much you donate to the cause and to the just giving page.

    Español: Con gran tristeza lamentamos informarles que Saúl Balogh Jones falleció el pasado sábado 9 de julio bajo trágicas circunstancias. Estamos recaudando dinero para apoyar a su madre que acaba de perder a su hijo precioso de 14 años. La madre de Saúl, Sonia Balogh, es una madre soltera de su único hijo y su única cuidadora- Saúl era un niño especial con necesidades especiales.

    Nos encantaría recaudar el máximo de dinero posible para ayudar a Sonia con los costes del funeral y para cualquier coste adicional que surja. Por esa razón hemos montado esta página donde uno puede elegir la cantidad que desea donar tanto a la causa como a la página en si.

    About Saúl:

    Saúl was born with the biggest smile and had a zest for life that was always there with him, in his playfulness and his wish to engage with everything and everyone.

    Saúl had a sensorial disorder, ADHD and Autism from a young age, and went to St. Luke’s School for special educational needs where he was loved, made friends and enjoyed his learning experience immensely. This never took away his intelligence, his gifts and social brilliance such as his infectious smile that could light up a room. It is true to say he had a unique kind of personal magic, a glow that you can see in his photos. Saúl has touched many people’s hearts during his life, not only in school, but in the clubs he belonged to, in the Spanish classes that he attended and, of course, his family and friends which are many. Saúl had a very close relationship with his Mum, Sonia, who dedicated her life fully to ensure he lived a fulfilling life, always guiding him, supporting him and keeping him open to opportunities to be an independent young man.

    He also had an extraordinary connection with dragons. He was constantly drawing them and creating or building them; whether with Lego or with blue tack, his designs always caught the attention and ignited our imagination as they leapt off of every page.

    At his young age, he loved cooking and eating good food, his love for sushi was immense. He could never eat enough of it. That, and yoyo bears!

    His favorite places were playground sandpits, the river at his grandmother’s village and seashores. Always building and always finding things to build with, his mind and hands were ever creative and in harmony.

    From his Spanish heritage, he very much enjoyed Spanish comics, Spanish radio programs and speaking fluently in his mother’s tongue. More recently, Saúl discovered sports and a natural talent for playing cricket and javelin throwing as well as riding his bicycle and practicing parkour.

    Saúl was a 14-year-old St Albans boy who was taken far too soon, but who was much loved by family and friends and will always be in our hearts.

    Sobre Saúl:

    Saúl nació con la sonrisa más grande y su enorme entusiasmo por la vida que se hacía sentir adonde fuera, en sus gracias y en su deseo de participar en todo y con todo el mundo.

    Saúl tenía un trastorno sensorial, TDAH y autismo desde muy pequeño, e iba al colegio St Luke's school for special needs education, dónde era querido, hizo muchos amigos y disfrutó tantísimo de la experiencia de aprender. Esto nunca afectó su inteligencia, sus muchos talentos ni su brillantez social con esa sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier lugar donde entrase. Se puede decir que tenía una magia especial, un brillo que se puede ver en las fotos. Saúl ha tocado el alma y el corazón de muchas personas durante su vida, no sólo en el colegio, sino en en las actividades extraescolares, las clases de español y por supuesto a su familia y amigos , que son muchísimos. Saúl tenía una relación muy cercana con su madre, Sonia, que dedicó su vida entera a asegurarse que Saúl viviese una vida lo más completa posible, guiándole, apoyándole y manteniéndolo abierto a todas las posibilidades que se le ofrecían para convertirse en un joven independiente.

    También tenía una gran conexión con dragones. Constantemente los dibujaba, creaba nuevos o incluso los construía con lego o con Blu-tak. Sus diseños llamaban mucho la atención de muchas personas por su imaginación y la viveza de los dibujos. Aún siendo muy joven, le encantaba cocinar, su pasión por el sushi era inmensa. ¡Nunca tenía demasiado! Eso y los Yoyo Bears (fruta).

    Sus lugares favoritos eran los parques de arena, el río que corre por el pueblo de su abuela y las orillas del mar. Siempre estaba construyendo o encontrando objetos con los que construir cosas. Su creatividad y destreza iban mano a mano para crear unos granes diseños.

    Gracias a su herencia española, Saúl disfrutaba leyendo comics españoles o escuchando la radio española. Su fluidez al hablar español era genial. Últimamente, Saúl descubrió nuevos deportes y que tenía un don natural para el Cricket o el lanzamiento de jabalina, la bici también era uno de sus hobbies y practicar Parkour.

    Saúl era un niño de 14 años de St Albans que se nos ha ido demasiado pronto, pero fue muy querido por su familia y amigos, y siempre estará en nuestros corazones.
