Funeral Expenses & Family Support

Bonnie Crawford is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Jessica Burton.

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Bonnie and I am creating this Go Fund Me on behalf of my sister Jessica to help pay for the funeral expenses of her partner Bradley and take the burden of financial stress away while she looks after herself, as well as their four children.

Bradley James Collins (40) passed away on Monday the 30th of Jan by a heart attack at home, which lead to a seizure. His family are completely heartbroken and devastated about this loss.

Jess and the children need as much help as possible; we’re fundraising for enough money to put on a funeral that Brad deserves, support the family in their time of need, and for their future.

Brad was engaged to long-term childhood sweetheart Jess, the mother of his four children. They had been together since 2006, a loving 17 years. He was a loving, protective and supportive father of Jacinta (14), Seth (12), Anastasia (10), and Lucien (7).

Jess is now heartbreakingly left as a single mum and their youngest is 7-year-old Lucien who has autism and an eye impairment so the expenses for his specialist appointments are quite high and because Brad was their sole provider the bills are rising.

Jess and the children are struggling to cope, they currently living in a 2 bedroom temporary accommodation in Taree. The struggle the family has endured and will continue to go through is stressful and lengthy.

Jessica has had no financial help from Brad's family in putting on a service for him so she is now left to pay the entire bill on her own at the same time as trying to get her + the kids into stable accommodation and stay on top of their general bills.

I understand that times are tough at the moment for everyone, but anything you can donate will be very much appreciated. All the money raised will go towards Brads funeral service, getting Jess and the children into a safe family home as well as the costs of living to support the children.

This family needs as much support as possible. Thank you for reading, any and all shares + donations are very appreciated and go a long way.
