RAISING FUNDS FOR A LASTING MEMORIAL IN HONOUR OF PAUL WHITE

Thank you so much for your kindness and support and your suggestion of doing a Go Fund Me page for Paul. I feel comfort from seeing the outpouring of love for him and I hope in time as his daughter grows, this will also give great comfort to her.

The family are fine for funeral funds and this fund is not directed by them, but if the GFM offers support for those grieving, provides a place to share stories and a chance to commemorate Paul, then happy for it to go ahead.

Paul was the most loving, caring, intelligent, quick witted, funny and the most handsome man I knew and I was so thankful to have had in him my life for 14 years. He gave me the best gift in life, his 8 Year-old daughter who is his twin and double. He adored and cherished her and he would be so happy to know that she will be supported now and going forward. I am hoping this place as well as a memorial page (to be set up soon) will offer comfort to those who are mourning Paul, want to help in commemorating him, help those who may be suffering and promote good mental health well-being.

MIND

If you are struggling with your mental health or are supporting someone with mental health issues – there are lots of resources out there to assist – MIND is a great charity and a good starting point - Home - Mind (info, resources, ways to get involved, campaigns etc)

If you would like to honour Paul, then the Go Fund Me is here to raise funds for the following:

A Memorial bench – a place where his daughter (when older) and others can go to reflect, get some solace and enjoy the peaceful surroundings in the countryside, which was a passion of Paul’s and he found comfort in.

Donation to Mind– From whatever funds are raised, a donation will be made in honour of Paul. I will also be donating to them.

Donation to Children surviving Suicide – from whatever funds are raised, a donation will be made in honour of his daughter. I will also be donating to them as well.

Planting a tree in memory of Paul in a place for his daughter to get solace, remember her dad and a place that we can share happy memories. I am thinking our garden, but it might be a place that they went together - tbc

Share stories and photo’s of Paul – Our daughter will need these when she is older and she only knows her daddy in her life-time and not before. He was and still is the most amazing person and I would love to be able for her to have a digital memory that lasts forever.

Connect, Love & don’t let go – connect with those you have not heard from in a long time and make those connections and make sure you love them. If we do this, then we might just help one person and family from avoiding the outcome we are having now.

You are not obliged to donate to the fund, but just giving a place for those who want to.

If you want to connect with me directly – contact Daisy with your email details, relationship to Paul etc and she will share them with me.

Rest in Peace, Sug, love you always and you will never be forgotten
