A fundraiser set up to support the family of Nicola Bulley has surpassed its goal of £25,000 in a matter of days.
Friends and family of ‘Nikki’ set the page to support her family through the funeral planning and for her daughters futures.
The Friends of the Ansell Family group who are organising the fundraising appeal on behalf of widower Paul Ansell, said: “As you can imagine, this is a situation that no one wishes to find themselves in, and we want to help the family through this awful time.
“The hope is that the funds raised will give the family one less worry, and will help Paul and their little girls now and into the future.
“The beautiful Nicola Bulley was the most amazing person you could have ever met, a heart made of gold, that shined through in everything she did. Her kindness knew no bounds and her legacy will live on through her beautiful little girls and Paul.
“On 27 January 2023, Nicola Bulley, a daughter, sister, partner, friend and mummy disappeared whilst walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire.
“The disappearance of Nikki, sparked a major search operation by Lancashire Police, and the drive to bring Nikki home generated unprecedented press interest and after 24 days of searching Nikki was tragically found in the river.”
