Your Help is Needed

We are all deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ivo. He had a passion for life and touched many people throughout the World. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

We are setting up a fund to help contribute to the costs associated with the returning his body to home to Bulgaria, where he will be laid to rest. Any contribution you could assist with, however small, would be greatly appreciated by his family and friends.

We all thank Ivo for the joys and inspirations that he brought to this world. His memory will persist and he will always be in our hearts and minds. His spirit remains, watching over us until our time comes and we will meet again.

Нуждаем се от вашата помощ

Дълбоко сме потресени от вестта за трагичната кончина на Иво. Той притежаваше истински хъс за живот и успя да докосне с него много хора по света. Ще ни липсва страшно! Молим се заедно със семейството и приятелите му в такъв труден момент.

На тази страница основаваме фонд, с който да помогнем за поемане на разходите по завръщане на тялото му в България, където ще намери последен покой. Всяка сума, с която можете да се включите, колкото и малка да е тя, ще бъде оценена високо от семейството и приятелите.

Благодарим на Иво за ведростта и вдъхновението, които донесе на този свят. Паметта му ще пребъде и той винаги ще остане в сърцата и душите ни. Духът му ще ни пази докато дойде време да се срещнем в един по-добър свят.
