EditorBLAENGWYNFI: Brother’s heartbreaking tribute as fundraiser grows for Chloe Ware, 31
Angela Ackery, a mental health nurse, launched the appeal to help cover funeral costs for Chloe Ware, 31, from Blaengwynfi — with more than £2,400 already raised by supporters.
Chloe’s family say her passing has left them devastated, describing it as an “unexpected tragic situation” that has shaken the entire community.
In a deeply personal message shared online, her brother Dylan Ware said: “My beautiful, talented most wonderful sister sadly passed away… we are absolutely heart broken.
“No parent should bury their baby girl and it has left such a heavy hole in our hearts.
“We would love to give Chloe the send off she absolutely deserves… any donations would be greatly appreciated no matter how small.
“I miss you so much my darling sister, I love you forever and always.”
Chloe, described as a much-loved daughter, sister, auntie and friend, had battled mental health difficulties since her teenage years.
She had been receiving care at Neath Port Talbot Hospital since January. Her family say she died while under their care and have raised concerns about the support she received.
Despite her struggles, Chloe was known for her creativity and warmth.
A promising footballer in her youth, she was spotted at just 12 by a Swansea City School of Excellence coach before a serious leg injury ended hopes of a professional career. She later continued playing for local teams she loved.
She was also a gifted self-taught musician, playing guitar and drums, and shared her work online. Her artistic talents were equally cherished, with her artwork filling her family home.
Chloe’s loved ones say she was devoted to her nephew and had been looking forward to seeing him in the days before her death.
In a message on the fundraising page, her family said her loss has left “a huge hole that can never be filled”.
They added: “We would like to give Chloe the respectful and peaceful farewell she deserves, but the financial burden is very heavy.”
Supporters are being encouraged to donate or share the fundraiser to help give Chloe a peaceful final farewell, with funeral details expected to be announced soon.
