Needing help to raise funds for funeral costs for my sister's dad who passed from Dementia

$360 of $10,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in 14 days

Really just wanting my mum and my sister to grieve in peace without worrying about money.

Auckland

Sadly on Tuesday 26th September my sister's dad (Tom) passed away who battled Dementia for many years.

Our mum who was clearly devoted to Tom, refused to put him in a home/hospice. She cared for him herself, attending to his every needs. She was there til the very end ! She never gave up on her best friend and it was her love for him that kept him going for this long.

I don't want my sister and our mother worrying about funeral costs and money they don't have ! They should be able to grieve in peace. We're needing $10,000 within 7 days !

We would be grateful for anything :)
