The family set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and support Himabindu’s daughter. The fundraiser has raised nearly £6,000 after more than 200 donations, including a £2,000 donation by Himabindu’s employer, Active Pathways - a mental health rehabilitation service based in Bamber Bridge.

Sister-in-law Lakshmi said: “Hello, I'm reaching out on behalf of my sister-in-law, who tragically lost her life after a serious car accident.

“She was crossing the road when the accident occurred, resulting in a severe brain injury from which she couldn't recover.

“The funds we're hoping to raise will help cover the costs of her funeral and cremation, allowing us to honor her memory and say goodbye in a way that reflects the love she shared with everyone around her.

“She leaves behind an 8-year-old daughter who now faces life without her mother's support and guidance. Part of the funds will also go toward ensuring that her daughter has the care and resources she needs during this incredibly difficult time.

“Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to our family as we work to support her daughter and cover these final expenses.

“Thank you for your kindness and support during this heartbreaking time.”
