To ease the burden in hard times

Queenstown, Otago

It breaks my heart that a good friend of mine Simone has suddenly lost her 23 year old son Ben. Ben was given a chance for a heart transplant on Friday but sadly he did not survive the surgery. Simone now finds herself broken with grief as anyone one loosing such a loved one does. Simone’s son was in South Africa and herself is here in NZ. Simone is a kind loving soul who gives so much to many people and is one amazing teacher. She now has to find the strength and funds to get back to South Africa so she can say her final goodbye to her eldest son. I am writing to ask if you can spare any money to help take the extra stress off this amazing angel.  Those that know her can only speak of her with smiles on their faces and she is the light of any room. Thank you for your time and very kind donation. ❤
