A fundraiser set up to repatriate her body back to Colombia tripled in donations since news of her death broke yesterday; at the time of publishing yesterday, the fundraiser had collected around $4,000. Today, it is around $13,000, with a goal of $15,000.

“On Saturday, 2nd July, our beautiful Sami decided to go for a night out with her beloved husband to a local bar in Malta, where they have been living for the last year. Unfortunately, she became a target and the victim of drink spiking at the hands of some evil strangers.” (This claim has been denied by well-informed sources, read below for more)

“Sami was rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with brain death with her life depending on an artificial life support machine.”

“We are devastated; there are no words; life will never be the same again without her. Sami was passionate about life; she was a loving daughter, sister, wife, aunt, friend and full of life. Sami and her husband moved from their home country, Colombia, far away from their loved ones, looking for a better future.”

“Unfortunately, her family had to make the heartbreaking decision to unplug her from the life support machine and donate her organs just as how Sami would have wanted to, saving other people’s life.”
