We need help to repatriate James’ body to New Zealand and pay the funeral costs in both countries

Waikato

Dear friends,

On Friday morning, I received a phone call from Interpol in Wellington, New Zealand telling me they had some bad news about my brother who had been living in Seoul, South Korea. James tragically took his own life on November 21st. We are devastated.

We are asking for your help and support financially as there is a lot of cost associated with a death. Specifically we are asking for help to cover the cost of getting James’ body back to New Zealand and to pay the funeral directors in both South Korea and New Zealand. We also need help getting my sister Georgie and her husband, Scott and her girls over to New Zealand for the burial. If there is any left over it will help us to buy the headstone for Dad and James as his ashes will be buried with Dad.

*We are using two separate donation sites to keep things simple between US donations and NZ ones. If you are wanting to donate in the US, please use the Go Fund Me site. If in NZ, the Give A Little Site.

Thank you dear friends.
