Donations from across the world have helped raise just short of £29,000 for the triplets of Rachel Park.

Money has been flooding in to support Mrs Park’s husband Steven and three daughters after she passed away suddenly just days after bringing the girls home from hospital for Christmas.

Fundraising organiser Lucy Dawson says the total collected now sits at £28,939.

Mrs Park’s funeral took place at St John’s Church, Hensingham, yesterday.

Donations can be made via Paypal to Parktriplets@gmail.com and also via the Go Fund Me website at http://bit.ly/2iwHKjc
