🌟 Heartfelt Support for Gwynedd Tragedy 🌟
In an extraordinary outpouring of love and support, over £15,000 has been raised in just 19 hours for the family of beloved 20-year-old Elis Alan Ogilvy-Bardsley. This promising young man from Pwllheli tragically lost his life in a crash on the A499 near Y Ffôr over the weekend.
💔 “He was a light in our lives,” shared his devastated family. Known for his humour and passion for football, Elis was all set to start his media studies at Bangor University. His joy and kindness left a mark on everyone who knew him.
The JustGiving campaign initially aimed for £1,000 to help with funeral expenses but quickly surpassed expectations, with an overwhelming response from 632 generous supporters. The funds are not only aiding immediate costs but will also allow his family the space to grieve and honour Elis’s memory with fitting tributes.
⚽ Football teams have also shown incredible solidarity, with CPD Pwllheli and Bangor City 1876 each donating £500. Trearddur Bay FC expressed its deepest condolences. Friends and family have contributed between £10 and £200, sharing touching memories of Elis.
The accident, involving a black Ford Fiesta and a red Audi A3, resulted in serious injuries for three others. North Wales Police continue to seek information about the crash, encouraging those with details to come forward.
As his community comes together in this trying time, Elis’s memory lives on through the countless lives he touched. 🌈
