NEARLY £18,000 has been raised to bring home a popular restaurant worker who died tragically after a motor cycle crash in Indonesia.
Graeme Coll, of Lymm, died after suffering critical injuries in the road traffic collision in Bali.
A friend, Louis Forrest, organised a GoFundMe online appeal to support Graeme’s grief-stricken family and this has almost £18,000.
Louis Forrest, who organised the appeal, said: “It comes with great sadness to have to write this as a long-time friend of Graeme.
“We now need to get him back home so that we can all give him the send-off he truly deserves.
“We desperately need the funds to help his loved ones to get him back home. I’m hopeful if everyone can donate as much as possible this will take a small percentage of the stress away that his family are going through.
Tributes have also been paid to Graeme by colleagues at the Eighteen the Cross restaurant in Lymm, where he worked.
