We have set up this page to support Callum and his family during an extremely difficult time and give back to a humble community superstar.

Eketahuna, Manawatu-Wanganui

Dear Friends and Family,

We are setting up this Give a Little page as a way to help us through a very difficult time. A few people have reached out and asked how they can help, and we thought this would be a great way to go about it.

After months of back and forth with doctors and hospitals, Callum has finally been given a diagnosis. On Wednesday, the 26th of February, after a procedure at Wellington Hospital, an inoperable tumor was found in his pancreas.

Being a proud owner of his business and servicing the community for 7 years, Callum has no choice now but to cease operation of Dove Cottage Property Services. He would like to spend his remaining time with family and filling out as much of his bucket list while he is still able to.

Calllum has always been there for the community and has provided help where he can to those in need. Now he is in need himself. We would appreciate your financial support, no matter how small, and we will be extremely grateful for your assistance while we are processing this shocking and terrible news.

THANK YOU!
