Appeal raises £5k to fly victim home from Crete
More than £5,000 has been raised through a crowd-funding drive to bring home the body of a mother who fell from a hotel window to her death in Greece.
Dionne Abrahams, aged 20, was on holiday with a friend on the island of Crete when tragedy struck last month.
Her family faced the additional burden of finding the money to fly her body home to Wolverhampton.
But a fundraising bid set up by a family friend was inundated with donations and raised more than the £5,000 target within days.
The gofundme campaign, called Bring Dionne Home, was launched by Luci Grewal who paid tribute to the ‘fun-loving, caring and loyal’ mother-of-one.
Ms Abrahams, of Thorne Avenue, Low Hill, had been out socialising on the night of July 15, and returned to her hotel alone.
But around 2.30am the following day she fell from a window and died on the way to hospital due to injuries to her head.
An inquest at Black Country Coroner’s Court on Friday was adjourned until November 6 while further investigations into her death are carried out.
The family are said to be making their own investigations but declined to comment any further.
Relatives took to social media to thank those who had helped raise over £5,200.
Tracie Lewis wrote: “On behalf of Dionne’s family, I would like to personally thank each and everyone of you for ur kind words and donation..this is a tragedy we was not prepared for..we so desperately need to bring her home and it would not be possible without all ur support.”
