Writing on the page, Corrie said: "We have family dotted around the UK, then I am based in Texas and have not been able to afford to go home to London for over seven years.

"Our uncle is based in Menorca and all of Kajetan's polish family are based in Poland.

"We would like get everyone together to support my sister, her husband and younger son and give Kajetan the funeral he deserves.

 "All money raised will go towards travel and funeral expenses for our family."
