Need to buy plant tickets to reunite a family spent 20 years apart.

Nationwide

Hello everybody

Thank you for taking the time to read my request for help.

I have a little brother back in South Africa that I have not seen since I was 11 years old, I am 31 now, so it has been 20 years since we have seen each other in person. We were separated as he went to go live with his dad and since then we have lost contact and have only just recently managed to make contact again. I moved to NZ with my mother and other 2 younger brothers, unfortunately my youngest brother (22) passed away in March this year which of course has hit us all very hard and made us realise just how short life is.

We are asking people to please help us out so we can get our brother from South Africa over to New Zealand to see each other again before it is too late. Unfortunately we are not in a position to save up for the tickets.

Please help to reunite a family and make their dream come true!! Every little bit will be greatly appreciated.

My little brother living in South Africa that I have not seen in 20 years. We would like to see each other again before it’s too late.

Use of funds

The money will be used to buy plane tickets from South Africa to New Zealand for my little brother and reunite us after 20 years apart. Extra will be used to show him an amazing time and the amazing New Zealand that we have come to love and call home
