In an effort to return Gurura’s remains to Zimbabwe, her family has organised a GoFundMe campaign.

“This has left an immense void in the lives of those who loved her,” Ashley shared on the campaign page. “We are reaching out for support to bring Esnati home to Zimbabwe for a proper farewell, surrounded by her family and friends.”
The funds will cover the costs of transporting her body and organising a memorial service. The family expressed gratitude for any assistance, noting that “every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference.”
