Story
After several months with no contact from his Dad - Lee Archer - in Cuba, Beau - a close friend of ours - asked the British embassy to look for him. They got back to him in mid-July to advise that his body was found in December 2015 but with no ID so they were never able to identify him.
Unfortunately, due to sanitary laws in Cuba, bodies that aren't identified within 30 days are buried.
The family will now have to pay for him to be repatriated - meaning he will exhumed and flown back to the UK where a funeral can then take place.
Unfortunately Lee didn't have any travel insurance meaning that the family will have to pay all the costs - which have been estimated to be £15,000 just to get the body back with the funeral cost on top of this.
Therefore, we as a company are going to do everything we can to help this cause by completing a Sky Dive to raise money. Beau is also going to take part in this and we are hoping to hit a target of £7,500 - which we have now smashed and increased to £8,500 - before the event which is on the 17th September 2016.
I would personally on behalf of Social Network Solutions and all the people who are getting involved to help this great cause, thank you in advance for you donations - every single one will help!
Thank you,
Shane, Beau and all the team at SNS.
