AN AMERICAN WOMAN whose Irish husband ended his and their three-year-old daughter’s life by walking into the sea says that she is “overwhelmed” having reached a $50,000 fundraising target to have the remains of her child exhumed and transferred to the US for burial.
Rebecca Saunders tweeted “We’ve done it – thank you” as her GoFundMe page hit its €42,000 target following a massive reaction to her appearance on RTÉ’s Claire Byrne Live.
