Support for Stefan

We are deeply saddened to share that Stefan Andrew Barthelot a loving and kind-hearted boy who had been living in Melbourne for the past five years, tragically passed away in a car crash in Yellingbo, Victoria, on the evening of September 29, 2024. He was only 25 years old. Stefan was an avid car lover and had been driving his much loved vehicle during the crash. Stefan was a child at heart. And his home in Melbourne stands to testify this, with avengers posters, miniature jurassic park dinosaurs, and star wars relics lying in its nooks and crannies.

Stefan had come to Australia with hopes of building a future for himself and his family in Sri Lanka. His sudden & untimely passing has left his loved ones in unimaginable grief. As his family is still in Sri Lanka, we are raising funds to help bring them to Melbourne (update: family has now arrived) so they can perform his final rites and honor his memory. The funds will also be used to cover other expenses related to his passing, including funeral arrangements and any outstanding matters that need to be completed in Melbourne.

This is a devastating time for the family, and we are reaching out to the community for support. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping his family be together during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
