More than £84,850 has been raised to support the families of the 39 Vietnamese people who died while attempting to enter the UK.
Despite Vietnam's government offering loans to relatives, families of the victims said this will only leave them further in debt.
Pham Ngoc Tuan, brother of one of the victims, said, "we already had to borrow so much money, we had to mortgage what we had. I don't even know if we can borrow any more."
The money raised will be used to cover the coasts of flying the bodies back to Vietnam to be with their families.
