Body of my son was found on the beach in Vila Nova de Gaia Portugal

The corpse ( body) of my son Yassine was found on the beach. Help to bury my son Yassine! .

🌹I kindly request you to share my donation campaign with other people. Every euro makes a difference. Thanks in advance 🙏

Join us and help to improve the circumstances of this vulnerable family and keep the children safe! 

Phase 1 is now behind us. Yassine's corpse is buried in Morocco. We still need your support for the coming phases: 

Phase 2: Provide psychological support for the family. 

Phase 3: Moving to another home. 

Phase 4: Back to work after serious incidents and grief.

My story:

On Friday, April 12th, I was surprised when my eldest son, Yassin, drowned at sea. Off the coast... Yassine is 16 years old and was with his friends after returning from school.

At that time, I was taking Portuguese language classes. The police called me to inform me of the incident.

It was very bad news, especially as I recently lost my wife during the Corona pandemic. I have 4 small children. Yassin is the oldest, in addition to a 14-year-old daughter and two other sons aged 8 and 5.

I am Mohammed, vader of 4 childeren. I am of Moroccan origin. I have lived in Portugal for 5 years. I worked as a technician specialized in the area of air conditioning, electricity and valves. After an accident at work, which prevented me from carrying out my original job, I changed my area of work. I have been working as an Uber taxi driver in Porto for two years.

Since last Friday, I have been waiting for news from the rescue teams in the city of Gaia that my son Yassi's body had been found. But unfortunately, my son Yassi's body is still missing. On this occasion, we thank all the search and rescue teams, as well as the police and the press, for the work they do. We also thank Yassin's school friends who especially came to the beach carrying flowers to offer their condolences.

Please help us financially and morally to overcome this difficult phase. Unfortunately, I do not have insurance for funeral services. I would also like to move my other children to another distant place, in Praia de Gaia, so that we can alleviate the pain and grief. After this painful incident, it will be difficult for us to remain close to the place where my eldest son, Yassin, drowned. We all had beautiful memories of this beach. But the memory of him drowning here will remain whenever we come here. My young children often come to this beach to play and swim. Our psychological and material conditions are very difficult at this stage. I will have to take care of the young children and help them psychologically to overcome this incident. It is also difficult for me to return to work under the current circumstances as a taxi driver due to my difficult psychological state.

Budget and due dates

Dear all,

To make things clear:

It is of course a crowdfunding compaign. As you know, 10% of the amount raised goes to the platform. The remaining amount goes to various costs. It is not just about the costs of transporting the coffin abroad. It's about addressing the situation of an entire family. From the funeral to future changes such as relocation and stabilizing the family in a different environment (see costs below)

There are many costs that I have to pay for my son's funeral in Morocco(6500 euro goes only to trasportation exclusive flying tickets and ambulance in Morocco) . I hope to be able to raise the amount of 24000 euros in the next few weeks. There are also loans that I have to pay back(5000 euro to start untill the target of the  crowdfunding is raised). For the relocation i expect( 3000 euro kosts) and i expect also to be workless for  2-3 months. 

This concerns costs such as:

The basic acceptance fee (Portugal+Morocco), the death certificate, Transport costs to visit you, Transfer to the Portuguese funeral home, Basic care, Transport costs to the airport in Portugal, Flight tickets to Morocco (4 people), Expenses shipping fee for the box to Morocco,  Transport costs in Morocco from the airport to the cemetery, Accommodation costs in Morocco, Housing costs in Portugal for 2-3 months.

After the funeral and return to Portugal, i will continue to seek psychological support for myself and my children. I would also like to get back to work as soon as possible. And move to another location in Porto as soon as possible. We would like to start a new phase, a new life somewhere else. It continues to be difficult to walk every day where your son died.

======================

Transporting the coffin to Morocco:

 I thank all donors for their support and contact. In addition, I would also like to thank the Embassy for the assistance and contributions they provide and for facilitating the procedures and coordination between the authorities in Morocco and the funeral company.
