Bianca and Holly - always together and forever in our hearts

Help Us Raise Awareness About Methanol Poisoning in Memory of Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles

On behalf of the Jones and Bowles families, we are raising funds to honour Bianca and Holly, who tragically passed away in Thailand on the 21st and 22nd of November, respectively.

Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles were two vibrant, adventurous 19-year-old best friends with their whole lives ahead of them.

Excited to embark on the trip of a lifetime, they travelled to Thailand and Laos to experience new cultures and create lasting memories together. Tragically, their journey, along with visitors from different countries, was cut short when they fell victim to methanol poisoning — a hidden danger that claimed their lives just one day apart.

This campaign, organised by the families of Bianca and Holly, aims to raise awareness about the dangers of methanol poisoning — a silent but deadly risk that often claims lives without warning.

We want to honour the memory of Bianca, Holly, and others impacted by methanol poisoning by turning this tragedy into a mission for change. The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be used to:

1. Relieve Financial Burdens: Assist the families in covering out-of-pocket expenses, including those incurred while bringing Bianca and Holly home during this difficult time.

2. Support Existing Initiatives: Contribute to organisations already working to combat methanol poisoning through education and prevention efforts.

3. Fund Awareness Campaigns: Launch initiatives to educate travellers, local communities, and businesses about the dangers of methanol poisoning and how it can be avoided.

We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this devastating time. Every donation, no matter the size, will not only help us honour Bianca and Holly’s memory but also work to prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak.

This campaign is being run by the families of Bianca and Holly, and we are committed to ensuring that every dollar raised is used transparently and meaningfully.

Thank you for helping keep Bianca and Holly’s memories alive.

Your kindness and generosity means the world to us.
