Please help raise funds to honour the life of Barry Hawkins

Barry Hawkins was an amazing man who was well loved in several communities. The 300+ people who attended his funeral on Wednesday will testify to that. Barry was taken away far too soon, and with little notice after a short battle with Cancer.

Barry was involved in a serious head on collision in March on his way to work. That incident and subsequent hospitalization lead to Barry being diagnosed with Cancer in his colon which had spread to his liver. The injuries sustained in this incident and the months of treatment for Cancer that followed prevented Barry from returning to work - although I wouldn't call it work as Barry's job was very much his passion in life (helping others).

Please help us to cover the cost of Barry's funeral. We are banding together as a Whanau to collectively cover the cost of his final send-off.

Any donations are greatly appreciated and will be received with the love and gratitude with which they were pledged.

With love and gratitude from the Hawkins and Po families.
