England – Rhys Antonio McDonald, a cherished member of the community, has tragically passed away on Friday, leaving behind his 7-year-old daughter, Tiyana. Known for his infectious positivity, kindness, and ever-present smile, Rhys was more than just a son, brother, and father; he was a friend to everyone who knew him.
Rhys was the beloved son of Jacqueline and Clive McDonald and a devoted brother to David, Michelle, Liam, Rhiann, and Tia. His most cherished role, however, was being the loving father to his daughter, Tiyana. The bond between Rhys and Tiyana was unbreakable, and his sudden absence has left a void that can never be filled.
To honor Rhys’s memory and ensure the future well-being of Tiyana, his family has set up a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising £5,000. The funds will go towards securing Tiyana’s future, just as Rhys would have wanted.
The fundraiser, organized by Jacqueline McDonald, has already seen an outpouring of support from the community, with £1,175 raised so far from 35 donations. The top donation of £200 was made by Lauren Daley, who also took to Facebook to express her thoughts, stating, "The proceeds of this GoFundMe will be going towards securing the future of Rhys McDonald’s little 7-year-old angel, Tiyana. Please, please donate if you are able."
The family is deeply grateful for the support they have received during this difficult time. Donations to the GoFundMe can help ensure that Rhys’s legacy of love, kindness, and positivity lives on through his daughter, Tiyana.
