Supporting Jess to help get through the coming weeks while grieving for her Dad

Queenstown, Otago

On 17th May 2024 Craig Dillon (aka CD) tragically passed away in Dunedin. CD was the architect of radio station thestudio.fm and a bright star at Q92FM Queenstown. He was a talented and passionate broadcaster and technician. His only daughter Jessica lives in Perth with her 4 kids and she has used all her savings to get an emergency passport to travel to NZ to say goodbye to her Dad.

Unfortunately there have been a few hiccups with making it to CD's funeral which has caused more upset and stress. As Jess also lost her Mum several years ago, we need to wrap her up in a huge hug and support her during this uncertain period.

I know Craig would appreciate any help we can give to his beloved daughter and her family.
