Help a police family get the answers they deserve

A police family we support is heading into a coronial inquest after losing someone they love.

They have been through enough already. Now they need experienced legal representation to make sure their questions can be asked, the evidence can be properly examined, and their voice is heard.

That costs money.

Blue Hope is going to put some of our own funds towards it, but we need a hand to cover the rest. That’s why we’re asking people to help.

This isn’t about pointing fingers or asking anyone to decide what happened. That’s the Coroner’s job. It’s about making sure this family gets a fair chance to take part in the process and, hopefully, that something useful can be learned from what happened.

If there are lessons here that could help another police officer or another family in the future, we want those lessons heard.

We’re keeping the family’s identity private. They’ve agreed to us raising funds to help, but they don’t need their grief played out publicly.

Blue Hope works alongside police officers, paramedics and their families when things have gone badly wrong. Sometimes that means helping someone recover. Sometimes it means helping a family find answers.

This is one of those times.

If you can chip in, thank you. It will genuinely help.
