“I just want to be able to bring my son home where he belongs and to do this it's going to cost in the region of £10,000 plus, any help would be very much appreciated”. One user shared the fundraiser on Facebook on Thursday 22 January with the caption: “Another tragedy... dear Ryan, one of the `lads from Hull', who made our floors such a dream to walk upon and whom I thank every day... left this world a couple of days ago in a tragic accident in Vietnam.
