Thousands raised for family of 'beautiful daughter' who died in Ibiza holiday balcony fall

Kindhearted friends and strangers have raised thousands of pounds for the family of a young woman who died after falling 30ft from a balcony on holiday.

Robyn-Eve Maines, from Wallasey , was on a break in San Antonio, Ibiza, with her partner and friends when the tragedy happened on Sunday.

In the days since Robyn-Eve's aunt Diane Morrisey started a fundraiser to repatriate Robyn-Eve’s body, which has already reached more than £8,000 from 222 donations, Liverpool Echo reported.

Diane wrote: “I can't believe I'm writing this, my beautiful niece, Robyn Eve Maines has tragically passed away aged 24.

"Robyn was a beautiful person inside and out with everything to live for.

"After studying Law she graduated from University and went to work in a Solicitors where she made lots more friends.

"Robyn went on holiday to Ibiza with her partner and friends on September 22 and on September 25 her mum Clare received a devastating phone call from the British consulate informing her of Robyn's death.

"To say the family is devastated is an understatement. All we know at present is that Robyn had fallen 30ft from her balcony with police investigations still ongoing.

"We understand times are very difficult for a lot of people right now but we are asking for help to get Robyn back home to her family where she belongs.

“If anyone can please donate however big or small it will be really appreciated and if everyone can share our post we would be truly grateful.”
