Ian Gilliam

My name is Paula Hicks and I am fundraising on behalf of the Gilliam family to help cover the unexpected funeral expenses and travel costs as the family lays our beloved Ian to rest.

The family is overwhelmed with gratitude by the outpouring of generosity and kindness that their community, both stateside and overseas, has shown to them in the short time since the tragedy of losing their son.

Your requests on how to help and support the family have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. In allowing the family time and space to mourn the loss of Ian, I am asking for your support in helping them cover the financial costs of traveling to the States to lay him to rest.

This is not an ask that comes easy to anyone in this situation, so any donation is very much appreciated from the family, and the communities, that support the Gilliam family.

Your time and support for the family will continue to be needed as they navigate this challenging period of life. Thank you for supporting them in this manner, and please feel free to share with your family and friends so that we can meet the goal for the family.
