Help the Staples family

Donation protected
Hi my name is Laura and I am fundraising on behalf of my beautiful cousin Kylie and her three children, May, Tom and Lynette.

On Wednesday the 5th of June my cousins husband Ben left work early feeling unwell, he complained of back pain radiating across both shoulders.
Later that afternoon whilst Kylie was attending to her children in the kitchen of their home, Ben had collapsed and was found unconscious and unresponsive by Kylie, whom quickly administered CPR whilst her daughter May called 000.
Ben had had a massive heart attack, and, because it is unclear how long Ben was unconscious, there were concerns about brain vitality.
Whilst hoping for the best possible outcome, by Saturday the 8th of June at 4:38pm Ben was declared brain dead. Which is medically recorded as his time of death.
The days proceeding this finding have left the staples family heartbroken. Their beloved husband and father was never coming back and their entire world has fallen apart.
There is alot of uncertainty surrounding their future and I would love to raise some money to create a little bit more certainty as they begin to navigate a life without their loved one . I know times are tough for alot of people, but if you could find it in your heart to make even the smallest donation it would be greatly appreciated. No one should have to go through such tragedy feeling isolated or unsupported.
