The daughter of DOI photographer Martin Attard is appealing for financial help to bring back her dead father from Croatia.

Desiree Attard posted the fund raising request on fundrazr.com in the hope of raising €4,000 to cover the required expenses.

Martin Attard was on holiday when he passed away on 23 July after a heart attack.

“My dad lived for his art, and had no savings to cover this cost. I am asking for help to raise this money just to bring him home,” his daughter said.

The government has pledged its support to help the family bring back Martin’s body from Croatia.

Until 1pm, some €2,600 had been pledged.
