PLEASE HELP US BRING OUR FAMILY HOME ❤️

A note from his daughter :

After years of battling multiple serious health conditions, including heart problems, kidney failure and diabetes, as well as living life as an amputee, Dad has now reached the final stages of his journey.

Yesterday, the medical support that had been keeping his heart going and helping prevent another heart attack was withdrawn, and his oxygen support has been reduced. He is now receiving comfort cares, and we are preparing ourselves to say goodbye.

Right now, more than anything, we want our family together. We are trying to raise funds to help bring my sister home from Australia and my other sister home from Tauranga, back to our hometown, so that we can all be by Dad's side and spend these precious final moments together. Any extra funds raised will go towards funeral and additional costs

We are asking for any help people may be able to offer. No donation is too small, and even if you aren't in a position to donate, sharing this page would mean more to us than you could ever know.

Every bit of support will help take some of the financial pressure away from our family so we can focus on what matters most right now: being together with Dad.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, love and support during this incredibly difficult time.
