Lets Help Louise O'Connor

I hope that my life of living for giving could be a small example of the kind human kindness that we could all have to each give a little.

As the former manager for hit New Zealand singer Yulia, I created a concert series and events between 2008 and 2013 that raised over $1.5m for New Zealand charities.

My work included free concerts for thousands of cancer patients and caregivers.

This charity work found its beginnings when hundreds of Yulia fans wrote to me back in 2008, describing how Yulia's music had helped their healing or their grieving process.

Out of those hundreds of letters, I invited 168 to attend my wedding to Yulia. I personally fronted the thousands of dollars to enable them to be there. For the soul purpose of sharing a beautiful experience with these people so that they could have a beautiful memory in amongst their daily struggle.

It has always been about human dignity for me.

I am no longer with Yulia, and so one way that I am honouring our time together is by reaching out to help raise awareness of the plight of individuals like Louise, who deserve human dignity.

When we come together as a community to help people, this is the best of our humanity.

I hope that you will join me in showing your humanity and stand up to give a little to fight back against the tide of dehumanisation that is prevalent in our world.
