Help their mum Jocelyn make sure Freddy and Amanda can do this!
Auckland
Rick Garton died (suddenly and unexpectedly) at age 50 on 28 March 2018. He left behind some seriously talented children! Rick was a passionate man backing his children 100% and encouraging them to try for everything that was on offer. Rick was so proud to hear before he died that Freddy had been selected by his school to travel to Japan and was planning to support him to get there. Two weeks after Rick's funeral, Amanda was selected to represent NZ in a team travelling to Italy in July to play In-line hockey. These two are really talented and Rick was so proud of them. Both these trips are expensive and sadly the lack of insurance etc has left Jocelyn with no income or savings to cover the expenses of these trips. Some friends and I wanted to give everyone a chance to support the kids to get them to Japan and Italy. What has happened is so desperately sad, and Rick would be so chuffed to see everyone get behind this - a kind and generous soul having his good deeds reciprocated I reckon!
Amanda needs $5300 and some spending money.
Freddy needs $4200 which includes spending money.
If there is any money left over it will go to supporting both Amanda and Freddy in their sport and academic endeavours - fees, uniforms, future travel for tournaments and training costs.
I am a family friend and doing this on their behalf. Their dad Rick built our house and soon after died far too soon and unexpectedly. Some friends and I wanted to help....
Funding the trips for Freddy and Amanda - Freddy to Japan (flights, meals, accomodation and spending money); Amanda to Italy (flights, uniform, equipment, meals, accomodation and spending money).
Thanks so much everyone!!! 31 May 2018
The response has been amazingly generous and so compassionate. This gets Amanda to Italy, and a good donation towards Freddy's trip to Japan. The page was set to close today so that the funds would be available in time for Amanda's trip. If anyone has missed the deadline and still wants to contribute, please contact either myself or Jocelyn. Thank you again. This is really appreciated.
