The Ethan Fund



Dear Friends and Family,
As you may all be aware of the terrible tragedy that happened a few days ago in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe I am writing to you all with an appeal.  

I am putting together a fund to assist the family left behind. I would be grateful for any and all assistance. Some of you have already kindly offered to help. I will reply to each and everyone of you who have pledged so far with how we can accomplish this.

The Solomon family have been unbelievably helpful and generous to the family of Ethan. They have magnanimously arranged a dignified burial for this wonderful little guy (3years 9months old). The Solomons are totally and utterly devastated by this horrific turn of events but want you all to know that they really do appreciate all the love and support. 

Ethan's family are struggling to cope with this senseless and untimely tragedy. Nothing will bring this beautiful child back but we can make a huge difference to the family. The funeral is tomorrow Saturday October 6th.
Warmest regards,
Adrian. 

P.S. Please pass this along to anyone you may care, to with thanks.

Hamba Gashle (go in peace) my little friend

On my many and recent visits to Bulawayo I always made time to play with Ethan. I would bring little things for him and his family from America and he was always so excited.

We have tragically lost our little friend.

I will forever miss you trying to push the buttons on my cell phone and computer. I will miss our times looking at my pictures on the computer of you and the others. I will miss you shouting at Diesel and Hugo in the yard. I will miss teasing you to help Bongani with the gardening chores. I will miss that mischievous smile and your constant curiosity in what I was always doing. There will be a big hole in my heart when I visit Bulawayo again. Words cannot express the joy you brought to all the people who new you and were a part of your short life. I greave with all your family and friends, of which you had many. We will meet again my little friend, just not yet, not yet !

Dear Friends and Family


Please forgive me for being so cryptic in the following email but It's out of respect to the family and friends involved. I will elaborate when the family involved and my friends allow me to do so.

There was a terrible tragedy today in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. A young child I know very well, lost his life. I, along with many other people, am devastated by this awful news.

In the coming days I will be putting together a fund to assist the family left behind. I would be grateful for any and all assistance. Nothing will bring this beautiful child back but we can make a huge difference to the family. As soon as I figure out the logistics I will reply to each and everyone of you who have pledged to help. Please email me privately at:

Carpe Diem.

I’m totally gutted !

RIP little Ethan (Tony). These are tears of utter sadness for you. Hamba gashle !
