Thousands have been raised after a beautiful mother of two tragically died this week. The money will go towards a funeral so her children can give her a proper send off. 

Bobbie Joe Parker, mother to Esmae, 2, and Alexis, 5, tragically took her own life after a long battle with mental health on Monday March 25. 

On a recent fundraiser set up by Leeanne Anderson, Ms Anderson said "It is with a heavy heart that I have to write this on behalf of my sister and brother in law who have lost their beautiful daughter Bobbie Joe.

"Bobbie Joe was a beautiful, vibrant happy confident young woman who was battling demons for many years.

"She fought for many years to get help and support sadly she fell through the net like many others."

Bobbie Joe Parker's family describes her as a beautiful young bubbly outgoing person who always put others first before herself.

Ms Anderson said "Sadly on Monday 25th of march Bobbie Joe lost her fight and took her life to this horrible illness believing she wasn't good enough for her children or this world. 

"Anyone who knows her family knows they never ask for help from anyone as they are a very private family."

Having only been set up three days prior the GoFundMe has already gathered over two thousand pounds, with a staggering 88 donations made to the cause so far.

Many people have expressed their condolences to the grieving family and have written lovely messages a long with their generous donations. 

One person wrote "Mental health is so awful. Thoughts are very much with the family at this sad time."

Another person wrote "No words can describe the loss, thinking of you all."

Echoing the same sentiment as the previous comment, a further person wrote "We are thinking of you all always."

Ms Anderson continued: "My sister and brother in law have been left with the devastation off raising her two children

"It would be beautiful for the girls to be able to give their mummy the best goodbye she deserves. Any donation big or small even a share will be widely appreciated by the whole family."

This comes as many other similar cases have recently arisen in Berkshire due to the rising costs of funeral services, which is an average of £4,141 in the UK.
