GoFundMe to repatriate tragic Cathrene Kith Singco and her husband, Ralph Singco raises thousands as funeral details released
An appeal has been started to fund the repatriation of Cathrene Kith Singco and her husband, Ralph Singco to their home country of the Philippines.
The appeal comes after ‘the passing of Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and her husband, Ralph Anthony Singco’ after a horror crash in Crumlin on Sunday.
Yesterday, Ralph Anthony Singco, who was in his 30s died from injuries sustained in the crash.
His death comes days after the death of his pregnant wife, Cathrene Kith Quiñones Singco.
The collision happened just after 2pm on the Moira Road in Crumlin on Sunday.
Both Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and her husband, Ralph Anthony Singco had been passengers in the car and a number of other people suffered minor injuries.
A post from O’Kane Funeral Directors reveals details of a Requiem Mass ‘Celebrating the life of Ralph, Kith and Baby Kate Singco’.
It adds: ‘Ralph, Kith and Baby Kate will arrive at St Vincent De Paul Church, Ligoniel Tuesday 20th January for prayers of reception at 5.30pm followed with an overnight vigil.
‘Requiem Mass will be held Wednesday 21st January at 12noon in St Vincent De Paul Church, Ligoniel Road’ at 12pm.
The appeal, started by AJ Biacolo, explains that ‘Kith and Ralph were dedicated members of our community who spent their lives in service to others as healthcare workers’.
‘Kith served with compassion as a Nurse, and Ralph was a devoted Care Assistant.
‘Their lives were defined by their kindness and their commitment to the health and well-being of those in their care’.
The GoFundMe adds: ‘On Sunday, January 11, 2026, Cathrene was involved in a devastating two-car collision near Nutts Corner in Crumlin.
‘Tragically, Cathrene, who was 7 months pregnant in her 30s, passed away following the accident.
‘The heartbreak deepened as her unborn baby also lost her life as a result of the collision.
‘Her husband, Ralph, who was also in the vehicle and fought for his life in the hospital, passed away today, January 13, 2026’.
‘Our Goal: Bringing Them Home’ being the aim of the fundraiser, it adds that ‘the Singco family were valued members of our community, but their roots and extended families are in the Philippines’.
‘It is the shared and heartfelt wish of both Cathrene’s and her husband’s families to bring them back to their home country.
We are aiming to raise £10,000 to assist with the significant financial burden of this tragedy,’ it adds.
‘The process of international repatriation is complex and carries significant financial costs. We are launching this fundraiser to help cover:
* Repatriation expenses for Cathrene, her husband, and their baby.
* Funeral and memorial services in the Philippines.
* Travel and logistical support for the grieving families during this difficult time’.
Adding that ‘no family should have to navigate such a monumental tragedy alone’, the GoFundMe says that ‘any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward ensuring this family can be laid to rest together in their homeland’.
Police say investigations into the circumstances surrounding the collision remain ongoing and have renewed their appeal for information from the public.
Detective Inspector Stewart, from the Collision Investigation Unit, said:
“We are investigating what happened and require the public’s assistance with our enquiries. Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have any dash-cam footage of the road at the time which could assist with our investigation, please contact us in the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference number 735 11/01/26.”
Police are urging anyone who was travelling on the Moira Road around the time of the crash to come forward, even if they believe their information may be insignificant.
