On Thursday, September 12, 2024, a fundraiser organized by Bobbie Sheein is gaining support to give her late father, Mick, the proper send-off he deserves. After Mick’s sudden passing, Bobbie expressed the emotional and financial challenges of planning a funeral for her beloved father, a devoted Everton supporter.
Bobbie Sheein set the fundraising goal at £500, and as of today, £220 has been raised through nine donations. Contributions include donations from Kevin Painter, who gave £10, Jason Cox with £100, and others like Rachel Mappin and Susan Pethick, all contributing to the cause. Bobbie expressed deep gratitude for every donation, no matter the amount, as she seeks to honor her father’s memory.
Sheein shared how difficult this experience has been, stating, "Dad’s passing was such a shock to us, we made no preparations, and neither did he. I feel I’m letting him down because I can’t financially facilitate the send-off he deserves."
The outpouring of support reflects the love and respect people had for Mick, who was described as a great father, grandfather, friend, and a passionate Everton fan. Bobbie remains hopeful that the funds will be raised to give her dad a fitting farewell.
Supporters are encouraged to continue donating to help reach the goal and ensure Mick’s funeral can be arranged as planned.
