Story

My oldest son John died in a tragic car accident on 26th November. Our world suddenly collapsed and will never be the same.

I remember our visit to Krakow / Poland in June this year. He enjoyed being with his Polish family, visiting Nazi's camp in Auschwitz, the Old Town in Krakow, the Jewish Quarter Kazimierz and he also enjoyed Krakow's nightlife.

One day I was giving off to him for not coming back until the early hours of the next day and he said he gave his last penny to a homeless man and he couldn't get a taxi so he had to walk miles from the city centre to his grannie's apartment in the outskirts of Krakow.

How could you be angry at him anymore...

John was just a good young man with a big heart for everyone he met.

Therefore, on his brother's Simon suggestion and after talking to my family circle, friends and John's friends, I decided to start fundraising for homeless people in Simon Community - in memory of our dearest John ❤️

May he rest in peace 🙏
