GoFundMe established in the name of Bianca & Holly

By VAFA Media · November 25, 2024
GoFundMe established in the name of Bianca & Holly

A Go Fund Me has been organised by the families of Beaumaris Football Club’s Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, who tragically lost their lives to methanol poisoning while holidaying in Thailand last week.

You can help support the fundraiser by donating below:

GoFundMe – Donate Here

The crowdfunding campaign will aim to raise awareness about the dangers of methanol poisoning — a silent but deadly risk that often claims lives without warning.

The Jones and Bowles families want to honour the memory of Bianca, Holly and others impacted by methanol poisoning by turning this tragedy into a mission for change. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will be used to:

1. Relieve Financial Burdens: Assist the families in covering out-of-pocket expenses incurred while bringing Bianca and Holly home during this difficult time.

2. Support Existing Initiatives: Contribute to organisations already working to combat methanol poisoning through education and prevention efforts.

3. Fund Awareness Campaigns: Launch initiatives to educate travellers, local communities, and businesses about the dangers of methanol poisoning and how it can be avoided.

From all of us in the VAFA community, we send our deepest condolences to the Jones & Bowles families and to all who love Bianca and Holly.
