Kealba, VIC — The family of Graham Steinmann is grappling with immense grief following his tragic death in a cycling accident on Sunshine Avenue on Monday, August 26, 2024. Graham, who was cycling home from work, was fatally struck by a car that veered onto the other side of the road.
Graham Steinmann was the primary supporter of his family, which includes his mother and two younger siblings. He worked tirelessly to help make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, and had no insurance or superannuation. The unexpected loss of Graham has left the family devastated, particularly as they are still recovering from the financial burden of their father’s funeral two years ago.
His sister, Jessica Steinmann, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of a memorial service. The family is struggling to afford the expenses to honor Graham, who was their eldest child. Jessica expressed the family’s deep sense of loss and their appreciation for any support they might receive during this challenging time.
A few individuals have shared their condolences and thoughts on Facebook. Hayley Hyland posted, "This accident is truly heartbreaking," and urged others to support the Steinmann family by contributing to the fundraiser.
The fundraiser, launched earlier today, has raised $20 AUD from a single donation, with a goal of $10,000 AUD. The family hopes to gather enough funds to give Graham the send-off he deserves.
The community is encouraged to support the Steinmann family in their time of need, as they come to terms with this tragic and untimely loss.
