Help for Emmerich Lasakar’s two children

We are devastated to share the news that our beloved sister Emmerich Lasakar died tragically on April 17, 2023, due to domestic violence. Emmerich, who was 35 years old, leaves behind two beautiful children.

As family and friends come together to grieve this devastating loss, we're also faced with the unexpected financial burden of covering expenses for her children and family in the days and months to come.

We're hoping to raise funds to help support our family during this difficult time. All donations will be to support her children's future needs, including education and living expenses.

For those who knew Emmerich, her smile was as bright as the sun. It was an expression of warmth and love, a reminder of the world could be beautiful and wonderful even in the midst of sorrow. Even though she is no longer with us, her memory lives on in our hearts.

We're grateful for any support that you can provide, no matter how small. Please keep Emmerich Lasakar’s family and children in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Emmerich is the 18th woman killed in 2023 & the fifth woman killed in 14 days across Australia.

In Australia females are statistically more prone to encountering domestic violence perpetrated by a partner. Women are more at risk, approximately 1 in 6 , have encountered physical or sexual violence by a present or past partner. In contrast, the corresponding figure for men is 1 in 16.
