Doncaster family raises £2,000 to repatriate father who died in Ireland to Romania

The grieving Doncaster family of a man who died unexpectedly in Ireland have raised more than £2,000 to fly his body to his Romanian homeland.

Cristian Puscasu passed away in Ireland, leaving his family facing significant repatriation costs to bring him home to Romania for a proper funeral.

His son Ionut has launched a bilingual fundraiser appealing to both communities to help give his father the dignified farewell he deserves in his homeland.

And kind-hearted people have so far donated more than £2,000 to the campaign - which you can donate to here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/cristian-puscasu

The family launched the campaign after Mr Puscasu’s sudden death.

Son Ionut shared: “Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted people,

“We are going through one of the most difficult moments of our lives.

“My father passed away in Ireland, and we are now trying to bring him home to Romania so we can give him a proper final goodbye surrounded by those who loved him.

“Unfortunately, the repatriation costs are very high, and during these painful times, any support means the world to our family.

“ If you are able to contribute, no matter the amount, or simply share this message, you would help us from the bottom of our hearts.

“Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during these difficult moments.”
