Help bring our beautiful Ebony home❤️

We are absolutely heartbroken to share that our beautiful baby girl and big sister Ebony has passed away unexpectedly on the Saturday 1st February 2025, thousands of miles away from home. Words cannot begin to express how broken we are, it’s been like a nightmare since we found out on Sunday morning, we have prayed and prayed that this can’t be true. It couldn’t possibly happen to our lovely Ebs.
On Tuesday 28 January 2025, Ebony flew from Heathrow to follow her dreams of travelling all over South Asia, starting in Sri Lanka. She was full of excitement for her adventures ahead, in typical Ebony style she had spent months researching and planning and drawing up schedules for the coming months.
Her trip was cruelly cut short on Saturday 1st February, when she took very ill in the hostel she was staying in. Her and several others were rushed to hospital to be treated for vomiting, nausea and in Ebony’s case, difficulty in breathing. She sadly and tragically passed away on 1st February within a few hours of arriving at the hospital, they couldn’t save our beautiful girl.
We cannot even begin to imagine how scared she must have felt at the time and it hurts us so badly to think of the pain she was in. We need to be with her and bring her home safely.
She passed away with someone from the hostel beside her. We are endlessly grateful to this man for staying with her during her last moments.
We have set up a GoFundMe to raise money to get our family over to Sri Lanka to be with our beautiful Ebony and bring her home where she belongs.
The authorities in Sri Lanka are not allowed to release Ebony to us until a full Post Mortem has been completed. There is also an ongoing investigation because of the tragic circumstances linked to how she died.
We are desperate and cannot wait any longer to see her and to bring her home. We are raising money for flight costs, hotel accommodation, emergency passports, vaccinations, visas and funeral services to give her the best send off that she deserves. We need to be with our beautiful Ebony as soon as possible, we hate the thought of her being alone in a foreign country. We want to be able to bring her back home safely to rest. We just need to look after our angel.
Please help if you can, please donate, please share this around. Thank you❤️
