In loving memory of Quinn Swann, reaching out for financial assistance for his 7 kids and the love of his life he's left behind

Quinn Swann was taken too soon from this earth, he left behind his life time soul mate Orohena Brightwell and 7 beautiful children, Manea, Xiaver, Ramari, Quinn, Lili and twins Whareahuru and Tamatehura Swann. He was only 33 years old, his death was of unknown causes.

Quinn loved his children, he loved Ona with all his heart and soul, his love continued onto his own family the Swanns and Carters as well as his inlaws the Brightwells. He would always talk to Ona about all sides of the family, his cousins, his friends and anyone he had good times with while he was here.

He fathered his seven children while Ona worked a full time job to provide financially for their needs and his sudden death has left Ona with her seven children in a turmoil.

Ona is not ready to go back to work and Manea her 14 year old daughter is training to qualify at the 2016 Waka Ama Sprint Nationals to qualify for a lane at IVF Va'a World Sprint Championships (Worlds) in Sunshine Coast, Australia.

Ona plans on taking her seven children with her to Australia, should Manea qualify, it is a very promising trip for the family and will be close to Quinns 1 year date of death.

I'm reaching out to everybody that has been through the same struggle, anybody that can give to help out, those who could not make it back to the tangihanga and all those who love this family.

Giving is the biggest gift you can give anyone, it's the most fulfilling feeling in the world and the karma you get back is always 10 tenfold.

The funds raised will be used for general family expenses, costs to fix up their home and costs to cover Waka ama National Sprint Championships travel & accommodation in 2016 and a family trip to Australia regardless of Manea qualifying covering travel and acommodation.

Thank you to all those that contribute, big hugs and kisses to you all:)
