Story
This is Kelly she is a former member of the british armed forces. She sadly passed away suddenly in her sleep back in July of this year just 3 months before her 34th birthday. I am trying to raise funds to help her greaving mother give her a headstone as she isnt financially able to do this fully herself due to ill health. SAFFA amazingly helped with funeral costs but unfortunatly couldnt help with this. She was an amazing spirit and a beautiful person and it was and still is my privalidge to have known her and called her my friend. It breaks my heat to think of a fellow ex soldier lying in an unmarked grave. Any donation would be amazing and you would be helping a greaving family put her to rest with the dignity she deserves. Thankyou to anyone who thinks they can help.

6 years agoI would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of those whom found it in their hearts to donate to my cause. Many of you did not know her yet still donated which I’m so greatful for. If Kelly were here today she would of been overwhelmed by your kindness. She was a ray of sunshine and I’m so happy to of been able to help her mum lay her to rest with the dignity she deserves. So again from the bottom of my heart thanks guys you’ve done a great thing.

So sorry to hear about this. I went through basic training with Kelly...she wouldn’t take sh*t from any of the lads and was a good laugh! My heart goes out to all of her family. RIP xxx
