In loving memory of our dear friend, we are coming together to help ease the financial burden of funeral costs for the family.
Nationwide
Our beloved Edward Gonsalves sadly passed away in New Zealand at the young age of 36 after suffering a sudden brain stroke. He was on a ventilator for several days, but despite every effort, he could not be saved.
Edward leaves behind his heartbroken wife, Sereena, and his grieving family in India. His elderly parents are devastated and are unable to travel to New Zealand due to their age and medical conditions. Their only wish now is to receive their beloved son back home and perform his final rites with dignity.
Edward and Sereena were new to New Zealand and were still trying to establish themselves. They did not have insurance and were not financially stable, making this tragedy even more difficult. At this painful time, Sereena is alone in New Zealand, courageously handling the hospital formalities, funeral arrangements, and the heartbreaking process of transporting Edward’s body back to India.
We are working closely with Edward’s family, the Indian High Commission, his employer, and friends to make this possible.
We humbly request your support to help cover the costs of repatriating Edward’s body to India for the funeral and to support Sereena during this extremely difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will mean a great deal to the family.
Your kindness, prayers, and generosity will help Edward return home to his parents and allow the family to perform his final rites with love and dignity.
