Tharindu Balasooriya, a beloved member of the Sri Lankan community, passed away recently, leaving his family and friends in deep sorrow. The news of his untimely death has shocked many, especially those who knew him as a dedicated husband to Lakmali Gunasekera.
Tharindu’s passing occurred while the couple was living in Luleå, Sweden, far from their home country of Sri Lanka. Lakmali, now facing the immense challenge of managing her grief and the logistics of bringing her husband’s body back to Sri Lanka, has turned to the community for support.

As of November 6th, 2024, the fundraiser has raised a total of SEK 5,639 through 23 donations. The community has rallied behind Lakmali, with contributions coming from various supporters, including a kr1,000 donation from an anonymous donor.
