Help us raise funds for a headstone for my Mum - gone too soon

My Mum passed away in August 2017 and as we could not afford a funeral we would like to have a plaque or headstone for her.

Wellington

My beautiful Mum Heather Cameron, fought with anxiety and depression for most of life. Unfortunately she lost her battle and took her own life on Saturday the 19th of August 2017. As she wanted to be cremated, we had to do a direct cremation as we could not afford a funeral. I organized a memorial for her in the town she lived in - Rotorua at her friends place.

As her only child, I would love to have a plaque or headstone for her in either Rotorua or in her home town of Palmerston North for her friends and family to be able to visit.

Thank you.

I am involved because she was my Mum. She was amazing and as her only child she was always so supportive and loving towards me. I just want to have a physical place to remember her.

Use of funds

We miss Heather so much. We loved having her come to stay with us (we had so many laughs and such genius conversations together about anything and everything). So many parts of our house and our little farm reminds me of her - even our turkeys as Heather and I named them all one afternoon - we were going to start naming the bees next - all 2,000 of them ;) I miss our phone conversations, our facebook chats, and our texts. I just miss her. Dear Haley - I think of you and your mum every day xx
