The Swainston family for Gabby

Gabriella Swainston (Gabby) was a beautiful girl (pink hat in the family picture above) who for the last few years has been struggling with the demands of life. Sadly, she reached her point of no return this week and her family has been devastated.

Louise, Jason and Julia have all taken unpaid time off work to deal with their grief and all that comes along with this sudden loss. They have family arriving and lots of practical help, but have no idea where they are going to find the funds to say a proper goodbye to their daughter and sister.

On behalf of (and with permission of) the Swainston family, myself (Elissa) and a few friends have decided to start this campaign to see if we can cover the unexpected costs of Gabby's funeral and take that burden away from the family at this dreadful time.

Please give anything you can. Anything over the funeral costs will go towards supporting the household while they are not working.

Thank you.
