About

Yasmine is a daughter, sister, girlfriend, mum to be, grandchild, friend, musician, streamer, gamer and missed by everyone who ever had the privilege to meet her. 

Yasmine passed away extremely suddenly from a pulmonary embolism at only 20 years old. She was carrying her unborn child at the time. 

She was the most thoughtful and caring person who would always put other people ahead of herself. She took the time to check in on people no matter what was going on in her own life at the time. She would spend her last pennies on making sure someone else got the perfect gift or something they really needed. 

We are raising funds so we can:

• grow, source and supply fresh food to food banks and homeless shelters.
  
  

• educate people, including medical professionals,  how to spot certain medical conditions in young people.
  
  

• pay for medical research into less know conditions  including hypo-glycemia in non diabetic patients  and  pulmonary embolisms  in young people.
  

• fund counselling sessions for LGBTQ+ young people.
  

• fund activity days for special needs children that would otherwise miss out on these experiences.

Yasmine wanted to help everyone and would always prioritise other people above herself. When we were selecting the areas we wanted to support to start with (hopefully, we will be able to add to the list in the future) it wasn't an easy task. 

Yasmine had read somewhere that in the UK, there are more food banks than McDonald's restaurants. She felt that it was important to support the local food banks and wanted people who rely on these to also have access to fresh and healthy produce to help their overall health. This is why we want to help the local food banks and homeless shelters by supplying fresh eggs, meat and produce.

Yasmine suffered from a range of unusual medical conditions (none of which were supposed to be fatal as long as treated correctly by the professionals). She often found that her complaints were brushed off by the doctors and put down to period pains or her being a hysterical teenager.  All of these little mistakes by the medical professionals, mixed in with not enough knowledge about how certain conditions present themselves in young adults, ultimately caused her death. We don't want other young people to have to suffer by not being taken seriously by the professionals nor do we want any other family having to go through what we are going through due to similar mistakes and lack of knowledge by the professionals. Therefore, we want to educate people on how to spot signs of certain conditions in young people and fund research into less-known conditions.

Yasmine was part of and supported the LGBTQ+ community. She had very strong feelings about people not being treated fairly and not being able to be who they wanted to be. She was upset about young people that are part of the LGBTQ+ community often needing to wait years to receive counselling (by which time it might be too late). We are hoping to ease the burden a little bit by funding some counselling sessions for young LGBTQ+ people.

As already mentioned, Yasmine didn't like people being treated unfairly. When a young girl with special needs was unable to take part in a school trip to an activity centre, Yasmine took the time to plan a one-to-one day at PGL with activities suited to the little girl's needs. She spent her day off with the girl and the girl's father making sure she had an amazing experience. The  reward she got from that day was that the girl smiled and held her hand. We want more children to have these experiences and are wanting to enable days like these at various attractions around the UK
