We’ve seen how the coronavirus and the pandemic it precedes totally devastated the world, tearing families apart, sometimes literally as members weren’t allowed final deathbed audience of their loved ones.

One such tragic case has struck upon the seven-year-old Evan Cadby of Cardiff, Wales, UK, who has lost his mother and grandmother, and awaits father to come back healthy in the midst of all this mess. Currently an online funding has been sought, raising £13,775 as of now, almost 14 times the originally estimated donation amount.

The mum who passed away was Julianne Cadby, pronounced dead on April 15 at her home, four days after her mother Joan was also taken away. Julianne was the business manager for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, working in the child & adolescent mental health department for 16 devoted years.
