Close friend Vicky Tulika set up the crowdfunding page on behalf of June’s mum and brother, appealing for assistance to help repatriate June and cover funeral costs.
In an emotional plea, Vicky said: “With unimaginable heartbreak, we share the devastating news that our beloved daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend, June Bunyan, was tragically taken from us in the United States. Our lives are forever changed. She was only 37.
“June was known for her vibrant personality, infectious laugh, and deeply compassionate heart. Exceptionally accomplished, she held multiple degrees, but her proudest achievement was earning her law degree.
“Driven by courage and determination, June moved to America to sit the bar exam and pursue her dream of becoming a defence attorney. She worked tirelessly to build herself a better life.
“June’s life was cut short so far from home, and we are now faced with the heartbreaking task of bringing her back to the UK. She can then be laid to rest with the dignity and love she deserves, surrounded by family and friends.
“We are asking for your help to cover the costs of repatriation to the UK, funeral and burial expenses, and any legal or travel costs associated with this tragedy.
“We never imagined we would be in this position, and asking for help is not easy. But any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference and help ease this burden during a time of profound grief.”
So far, more than 162 people have donated to the fundraiser, which can be found at www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring-june-bunyan-home
