Flying home to Germany for my brothers funeral
Raglan, Waikato
Kia Ora everyone.
It is with a heavy heart that I share with you the passing of my brother René. During a climbing trip to Austria, he tragically slipped and fell 120m to his death.
We are reaching out to the community to give what they can and feel comfortable with to aid us in travelling home to be there for his funeral and to be with my family during this difficult time.
We deeply appreciate your help, and thank you immensely for your love and support.
Arohanui,
Rike and the family xxxx
The money will be spent on travel expenses to and from Germany for me and my 2 kids (flights and accommodation).
Any funds raised over this will be used for any other related family support and/or funeral costs.
Update on my brother René 16 January 2023
Hi everyone,
I would like to take the time to thank you all for your kindness, love and support through the messages and donations we have received.
With all the financial support, we have managed to cover the expenses for our flights to Germany so far. We are very grateful for your generous donations, both big and small which helped the possibility for me and my family to be together on the other side of the world during this difficult time.
My brother is currently still in Austria and we are working on getting him transported over to us within the next few days and are hoping for his funeral to be held early next week in Roetgen. Once the details of the funeral are confirmed, we will post another update, for those who wish to attend. 😔🕊️🤎
If you’d like to take the support a step further, please share this page to your family and friends ✨
Thank you all again for the support.
With love,
Rike and the family
