According to sources, Lakhveer had been in the UK for a relatively short period. She went to the UK on a student visa, but the situation changed when she became pregnant.
The GoFundMe initiative launched for bringing Lakhveer Kaur home
In response to this heartrending incident, a UK-based support service for female victims of domestic and sexual violence in the Sikh and Punjabi community has come forward. Sikh Women’s Aid, known for its tireless work supporting victims of faith-based exploitation, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to gather funds. The campaign, named “Let’s send our sister Lakhveer Kaur home,” is aimed at raising money to cover the costs of sending Lakhveer’s remains back to India.
The GoFundMe fundraiser is organized by Sukhvinder Kaur and set with a goal of raising £10,000. To date, contributions from 95 generous donors have already pushed the funds raised past the halfway mark, amassing over £5000.
Remaining money from campaign will be given to family
These funds will go towards repatriation costs and any additional finances required during this tragic time. Any remaining money will be given to Lakhveer’s family in India who, as reported, are struggling financially at this point.
As this heart-wrenching story unfolds, the focus now is on helping the family get through this difficult time. We extend our deepest condolences to Lakhveer Kaur’s family and loved ones. We will keep updating this space with further details as they emerge.
