💔 Help Our Mum Say Goodbye to Her Son She Has Not Seen in 27 Years & Meet Her Grandchildren for the First Time!

Auckland

Kia ora and hello to all.

The last time my mum saw her son was when He was 3 years old. She has not seen her son in 27 years, and just last December He passed away in Australia. Life, distance and financial hardship kept them apart. Though my mum would not admit it, losing Him without a final goodbye or even letting Him know she loved Him has left a deep ache in her heart.

Our family is in NZ and sadly, most of us—including our mum—could not afford to attend his funeral. We are still grieving and especially with the fact we were not able to make it.

But THIS YEAR, we have a chance to attend his unveiling, and finally give our mum the closure she deserves and the joy of meeting 6 of her grandchildren—for the very first time.

This is more than just a journey to us—it's a healing moment, a long-awaited reunion, and a chance for my mum to say a proper goodbye to her beloved son.

Please help us. Every donate or share would help bring us closer to making our trip happen, giving my mum the chance to see where her son lays, and reuniting a grandmother with the family she has only known from afar.

We really are SO grateful and appreciate any consideration to this donation!

Thank you SO much - from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

Use of funds

The money will cover the cost of Travel, Accommodation, and Other Expenses for our mum and all her children (8) + grandchildren (3) to make this trip. If we do not meet the goal, then we will have to limit who can go. My mum and 1 or 2 siblings.
