“Her two children, Isaac (3, almost 4), and Elijah (1), have been left without their mum,” she said. “I’ve started this page in the hope of raising some money so her beautiful boys can have the best childhood, make memories and make sure they are comfortable.”
“Nothing will bring the boys their mum back, but we hope it will bring some relief to her family, knowing how loved and supported they are,” Alyx wrote.
She wrapped up her tribute with some loving words for her late friend.
“Jehane – I promised I’d do what I can for those boys, so that’s what I’m vowing to do. I love you…” Alyx wrote.

“I can’t lift my head up without wanting to be sick and I’m unable to walk, I need to be wheeled everywhere. That’s how bad this pain is,” Thomas wrote.
Days before her passing she noted how much she missed her children while she was in the hospital.
“It’s been a really challenging week, not just physically but mentally,” she wrote in her Mar. 12 Instagram post. (RELATED: REPORT: Model And Influencer Dead At 31)
“I’ve missed these two so much and feel like they’ve both grown up so much whilst I’ve been away… I may be home but I’m still struggling with these migraines as nothing was really done to help them after a whole week of being there and I’d rather self-medicate at home with these around me then me left in a bed on my own all day & night, so I may not be fixed but I’m not giving in,” Thomas said.
