Financial help with funeral costs after terminal illness

$4,385 donated
Given by 40 generous donors in 20 days

Give a Little Page set up to help towards modest funeral costs to our friend who passed away for a terminal illness.

Canterbury

Our dear friend Rick was recently diagnosed with a rare Neurological disorder which progressed rapidly and he sadly passed away last weekend. Rick was only a young fella in his 50s and this has come as a complete shock to his partner, teenage daughter and his good mates. Rick hadn't planned for the unexpected so I have set up this page in hope that, collectively, we can help fund a modest funeral for Rick and lighten the financial load for his partner to achieve this and honour his wishes during this time.

My sincere thankyou, to everyone, for helping in this most tragic time. While we need to wait until Level 1, we will still be celebrating for Rick, in the only way he would want us too.

The many offers of help, the visits, support with animals, food, flowers, cards, phone calls and messages, have left me feeling loved and supported - thankyou with all of my heart

Please message, email or text me if you wish to have details forwarded to you when we can set a date.
