"It's a trust that was set up by Colin and his wife Etna after their son died abroad and there was a go fund me page set up so they had a surplus amount of money they set up this trust and what they do is they alleviate the financial pressures and dealing with the officials when you lose a loved one in a foreign country.

Because of that, they set up this trust and what they do is they alleviate the financial pressures and dealing with the officials when you lose a loved one in a foreign country.

They will repatriate your loved one's body and bring them home."
