Community rallies to fund a dignified farewell for beloved shoemaker Kevin Garlick

Last updated:

Donations have been pouring in to a GoFundMe appeal to ensure shoemaker extraordinaire, Kevin Garlick, has a good send off.

News OnTheWight was saddened to have to share the news last week of Kevin’s passing. His wife, Anzhelika, has launched the GoFundMe appeal saying,

“Kevin was a man who lived for the moment, not the what ifs, so there were no preparations in place to financially contribute to any arrangements.”

£5,000 target
Anzhelika is hoping to raise £5,000 to “enable Kevin to have the send off he well and truly deserves” and it has already attracted donations from around the Globe, reaching just over a quarter of that target (£1,390 at time of publishing).
