Help Nicky get home after tragic loss of her beloved Darren

Our beloved friend, Nicky Alan, is going through the unimaginable. She recently suffered the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her partner, Darren, who was not only her closest companion but also her rock, her support, and the love of her life. In the blink of an eye, her world has been turned upside down, and she now faces the emotional and logistical challenges of this devastating situation.

As many of you know, Nicky Alan, has a close-knit community of followers who love and support her. Many of you have already reached out with heartfelt messages, gifts, and cards to offer comfort. While these kind gestures are deeply appreciated, they can sometimes unintentionally trigger difficult emotions for Nicky as she navigates her grief.

If you're looking for a way to offer support that won't overwhelm her during this fragile time, contributing to this GoFundMe may be the best way to help. The funds raised will allow her to relocate back home to her family, where she can be surrounded by the people who can provide the support she needs most.

In addition to the overwhelming emotional toll of losing her partner, Nicky is now confronted with the practical and financial challenges of moving across the country back to Essex. Relocating is not only expensive, but the process is also daunting when dealing with grief and trying to piece her life back together. Right now, the last thing she should have to worry about is how to afford the cost of moving.

We are hoping to raise £3000 to cover essential expenses, including travel to relocate Nicky back to her family with the costs of moving her belongings, and temporary housing as she gets settled. She may also face unforeseen expenses during the transition, such as legal matters related to her partner's passing. In addition, she will need some financial breathing room for basic living expenses as she adjusts and begins to rebuild her life without her beloved Darren.

Additionally, a portion of the funds raised will be donated to the charity that Darren and Nicky were passionate about, Many Tears. This incredible organization supports animals in need, and it was close to their hearts. By contributing to this fund, you’ll also be honoring Darren’s legacy and continuing the work that meant so much to them both.

We understand that these are trying times for everyone, and any amount you can contribute—no matter how small—will make a significant difference in helping Nicky find her way back to her family and begin the healing process.

To know Nicky is to love her. She has always been there for those in need—offering her kindness, compassion, and support without hesitation. Now, it's our turn to be there for her. While we can’t take away her pain, we can help ease the burden by making sure she has the means to return home and be surrounded by the people who love her most.

This GoFundMe campaign is not just about moving expenses—it’s about offering Nicky the gift of peace, stability, and emotional support during a time when she needs it more than ever. We hope to rally together as her community to lift some of the weight from her shoulders.

If you're looking for a way to offer support that feels aligned with Nicky's needs, donating to this fundraiser is one of the most helpful ways to assist her right now. Even the smallest contribution will bring us closer to our goal and help her get back to her family during this difficult time.

If you're unable to donate, sharing this campaign on social media, via email, or by word of mouth can also make a tremendous impact. Above all, we encourage you to send messages of love and support to let Nicky know she is not alone on this difficult journey.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, support, and kindness. Together, we can help bring Nicky home to heal.

Nicky has no idea this fundraiser has been set up, our team decided that we desperately wanted to help Nicky through the heartbreaking time. It will be a comforting surprise when she finds out and a lovely way to support Nicky through this heartbreaking time.

Much love and deep gratitude,

Lorraine - Friend/PA Nicky Alan xx
