"We have been together four years, also we have a little child Emilijus. He is only two years old.
"My partner just passed away on the rugby competition in Wisbech.
"It's been very quickly and like in a dream. Person from another team while running, hurt Arturas chest or neck, after this he didn't get up.
"It's very very hard time for us right now.. I can't give up, I have to live and show the right path to our child.
"I have never asked for money yet, but I want to reach out to you and ask for help. Thank you all."
