Helping to raise funds for Bruce Bray’s funeral and care for his Dogg budd

Auckland

On the 15th of September my father Bruce George Edwyn Bray at the age of 56 years old but would have been 57 on the 26th of October sadly lost his fight to emphysema stage 4 he had also recently had a stroke to his frontal lobe that no one knew about till only days before his sudden passing. My father had been unwell for a long time but we saw him literally on the day just hours before he went into a coma like state and he seemed ok just tired and had caught a flu that had been floating around ward 10 at the northshore hospital. The doctors told us he wouldn’t come out of the coma but that wasn’t the case with my dad he was a fighter with a heart of gold. He woke up at 3.34am to give his grandson 9 week old Kayden his last kiss then tragically passed away in my arms that same day at the same time 3.34 but pm. He took a lot of his energy to tell my mother (whom he was separated from) that he wished he had kept paying his life insurance and he was sorry and that he didn’t want to leave us with the dept of his funeral costs. My father didn’t have money or valuables, he was a carpenter by trade but a fall from a 3 story elevator shaft which should of taken his life left him unable to work Leaving him homeless for over a year my dad made front page of the northshore times not once but 3 times and also won story of the year all in one year making a record of most featured story! He had nothing but he would give you the shirt of his back. I’m just hoping that anyone out there in the position to do so could be so kind to put in a donation to go towards the dept that I now face and with a new born and 3 other little children plus I’m now caring for my dads best friend and dog Bud, life is a struggle week to week as it is but with the kindness and generosity out there I no that it will make the world of difference so I Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my story and helping at a time in need. P.s the video was taken only a few weeks before his passing while I cared for him and made many memories that I will treasure till the end of time. God Bless
