Rhys Kawau - tragically passed due to suicide 11th Nov 2014. Help Rhys get a headstone & support Lifeline for Suicide Awareness/Prevention.

Waikato

November is a significant month for us. Two years ago we lost our much loved nephew, brother and son Rhys Kawau. He lost a battle to depression and anxiety and took his life in Kihikihi 11th Nov 2014. Since then we have also lost Rhys's dad, Brendan. These losses have rocked our world both financially and emotionally.

Our GOALS:

1. Rhys needs a headstone for his burial site at Te Awamutu Cemetery which will cost $6,500.

2. Give 100% of all additional donations to Lifeline to help provide financial assistance as they support Suicide Awareness and Prevention <3
