Help us bring our brother home.

Our beloved brother, father and uncle, Ishmael Del'Monte has suddenly passed away in Louisiana USA. He is alone over there with no family or close friends able to keep him company as his children are in Australia, and his brother and sisters are in the UK and here in NZ. We have decided that he needs to return to his whenua. However, we need help to cover the expenses of his cremation, the flight home and his funeral costs here.

This has been a great shock to us all and we are devastated that such a promising life has been cut short. Ishmael was loved by all who knew him and was a stalwart in the international Bridge Tournament scene.

Any contribution is gratefully appreciated.
