Funeral, headstone and medical expenses for lost loved one

Auckland

I never imagined my dearest wife would have passed away at 57 years old. After her Pauline became unwell in may 2015, it wasn't until her birthday, July 23, we were called to a meeting and given the most devastating news of a lifetime.

For 18 years we did everything together. And on 8 December, my sweetheart passed away.

It has left me in a dreadful nightmare since, funeral expenses, a headstone bill, a lost business, and homeless. I have a room now in a home with family, bust desperately need help with expenses.

Some of you may even have read about us in the Womans Day Magazine last year, when we married.

Please help me. I am sure there is someone there who could help me piece back together a small part of my smashed palace. The palace I will only hope to be with again in my next life, my beautiful Pauline

Devastating  20 May 2016

Well, the collection agencies are coming, but there is nothing for them to have.

The cold reality of loosing everything, when there is nothing more to lose.

Cant understand it really, that one massive loss could be followed relentlessly by one after another.

Was trying to succeed in life, and be good in all you did such a crime that God himself has deemed to punish one so severely.

The sun is setting, and the darkness closes in.

Forgive me my Pauline, for I have failed terribly.

I love you, I always will.

And bless those souls whose generousity has no bounds.

I thank you dearly.
