Coralie passed away leaving 3 young son's and her husband and ex husband need some time to work out what life looks like moving forward.

Otago

Coralie Abbott-Sinclair passed away on the 15th July 2017.

Her death was unexpected and sudden, and the family have had no time to plan for such an event.

Coralie and her husband Sam have a 5 year old Domanyk. His fight with LCH (a rare cancer) has left the family with no financial reserve.

The budgeter of the Family Coralie had everything in hand for her 3 son's and Husband Sam and also Bruce (father of the 2 older boys) who all lived together and supported each other. With her gone the family desperately need some respite from financial stress while they sort out what moving forward looks like.

The goal is to raise 20 thousand dollars to cover rent and bills for a few months, pay for the funeral, and some outstanding debt to give the family a clean start to move forward from.

Every dollar counts, please consider giving half the value of your weekly treat to a struggling (and grieving) family.

Fiona Kelly's involvement (page creator)

I am one of Coralie's best friends. I have known her for more than 10 years, and was matron of honour at her and Sam's wedding. My daughter lived with Coralie for a short time and I really want to give her family a hand up in this tragic time as she would have tried to do for anyone else.

Use of funds

Pay funeral costs of 9 thousand, pay off any recoverable debt of Coralie's that is outstandind, and pay household bills for Coralie's family as they gather themselves.

Burglary 22 July 2017

While out at the funeral and wake yesterday the family's home was broken into and a large list of electronics was taken. Included in this were hard drives with treasured memories, and playstation 3 and 4 consoles with their games which were presents from their mother to the older boys, and the families 50 inch tv from the lounge. The family is understandably in shock that someone would do this at such a hard time, and appeal to everyone in Dunedin area to contact police if they see someone selling items such as those lost without being able to verify their whereabouts.
