Supporting Aprille Okuszko: A Tribute to a Cherished Friend

Hi, my name is Mabel and I am fundraising for Aprille Maninang-Okuszko.

It is with heavy hearts that we come together to honour the life of Aprille, a beloved wife, mother, and friend who left this world far too soon. Aprille was only 42 years old and was a vibrant spirit, filled with love and laughter, who touched the lives of everyone she met. She was a long standing employee of Marks and Spencer in Cambridge where her kindness, warmth, and unwavering support extends to those she came in contact with.

Tragically, Aprille’s passing in the morning of 17th of October 2024 left behind three wonderful children ages 20, 13, and 10 years old, and her devoted husband Bayi.

In this incredibly difficult time, we want to ensure that Bayi and their children are supported as they navigate the challenges ahead without the incredible presence of their mother and wife.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Bayi and the children to help cover funeral expenses and to create a small fund for the kids’ education and future needs. Our goal is to provide a sense of security during such an overwhelming time, allowing them to focus on healing and cherishing the memories of Aprille.

We invite you to share your stories and memories of Aprille in the comments. Every contribution, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated and will make a significant impact on this family’s life as they learn to navigate this new journey.

Thank you for your love and support during this heartbreaking time. We will forever celebrate and cherish the beautiful soul that Aprille was.
