Bring John Ballance home

Donation protected
John Ballance had a heart attack whilst on holiday in Spain, Unfortunately John passed away on August the 10th leaving the family absolutely heart broken . His family at this time are unable to grieve because we can't seem to find the travel insurance documentation and the hospital have lost his wallet and phone . All we can find is a European health card which covers his hospital treatment but not to get him back to the uk nor his belongings or even be provided with his death certificate. We have managed to get the majority of money together through some family members, but we are still falling short . So we are asking if anyone would be able to help us in this dire situation, the family would be eternally greatful (no matter how big or smalll even if it would just be a loan) and then we will be able to hold a celebration of life once we have brought him back to the uk . I'm sure your all aware that his wife Sheila is herself disabled after a major stroke, which also affects her brain and her ability to register things in normal situations , so you can imagine she is finding this situation extremely hard, The thought of him being all alone over there is especially heart breaking ( he loved to socialise) and on top of that with out being able to Lay him to rest is making the situation worse. I'm sure alot of people would agree that John was a character... he was stubborn and would argue the hind legs off a donkey if things were not his way BUT if you could get past all that, he was a loving , generous, helpful and caring man who did alot for people right till the very end. We as a family will miss him dearly and he will forever stay in our hearts as I'm sure he will with alot of people x
