Heartbreaking news has emerged from Poland, where a tragic car accident has claimed the lives of a father, Krzysztof, and his two-month-old daughter, Natalka. The family, who had recently moved back to Poland after living in Connah’s Quay, Flintshire, were involved in a devastating crash when their car hit a tree.
Justyna, the 29-year-old mother, and her three-year-old son, Piotruś, are in critical condition in hospital, bravely fighting for their lives. The accident occurred on the morning of September 18th near Olsztyn, as the family travelled along a local road.
Anna Buckley from the Polish Integration Support Centre (PISC) has shared the tragic news, expressing deep sorrow and urging the community to support the grieving family. Justyna’s return home with her children was facilitated by PISC just a few weeks ago, with the family eager to start afresh in their homeland after welcoming little Natalka.
In the wake of this tragedy, a GoFundMe appeal has been set up by a Polish support group to assist with the funeral costs for baby Natalka, aiming to raise £2,000. The funds will also go towards potential rehabilitation and psychological support for Piotruś and Justyna.
Anna Buckley, who helped the family with their move, described the pain of the loss as unimaginable. She emphasized the need for community support in such difficult times, stating, “As a mother myself, this is an immense tragedy. The grief the grandfather, who recently buried his wife, now faces is unimaginable.”
In moments like these, the simplest acts of kindness can make a profound difference. If you are able, consider contributing to the GoFundMe to support Natalka’s funeral and aid Justyna and Piotruś in this incredibly tough journey. Let’s come together to support this family in their moment of need.
