HELP BRING MARCUS HOME...

Please Help Bring Our Son Home

On August 26th our son (Marcus) went to the UAE to celebrate his father's birthday and join a family reunion. What was meant to be a happy time has turned into a nightmare for him, our family, and our friends. This has happened as a result of someone trying to misuse UAE law against him. He is being charged with a crime that could lead to imprisonment for up to 20 years.

He is only 18 years old, very scared, and his mental health is starting to decline. We’ve done all we can to fight for his freedom, but now we urgently need to raise at least £20,000 to work on getting him back home.

We’ve already spent as much as we can on legal help and his housing needs while he stays to fight his case. We’re trying our best, but we are struggling with the funds to continue this fight. The legal system in Dubai is very different and from the UK and very expensive which makes this whole ordeal even more challenging.

What we’ve spent so far from past donations:
£2006 was used to pay for the Accomodation for the last month. With the family still covering the rest of his stay.

£3370.67 has been paid towards the lawyer's initial fees of £12,000 however the lawyer is asking the family to increase this amount to £18,000 -£21,000 (80,000 - 100,000 AED) due to the length of the case.

How Your Support Will Help:

We need at least £20,000 to cover the rest of his legal fees and to make sure he has proper representation. As mentioned,It is also costing over £2000/month for his housing while he stays in Dubai to fight his case.
The funds raised will cover his legal fees, accommodation in the UAE, living expenses while the case goes on and travel costs to bring him back safely to the UK.
