Help raise funds for Yuri's funeral costs and for his daughter

On Tuesday night, we lost our best friend, suddenly, to his ongoing struggles with mental health. Yuri was only 24 years old and left behind his loving family, a wonderful group of friends, and his daughter, Marlowe (5 years) who just started school recently. Yuri was an AUT business graduate and after two years of working in the industry, decided to go back to uni to study something he was more passionate about - Health Science at the University of Auckland. Yuri loved hiking and working out, food especially Japanese food, pies, and fried chicken, spending time with his friends and being with his daughter, Marlowe.

As Yuri was studying again and supporting his daughter, he had very little savings when he passed on Tuesday.

We like to support Yuri and his family as best as we can during this tough time and use this page to raise funds for 1) his funeral costs and 2) for his daughter, Marlowe.
