Hawke's Bay
Suicide is the Method. Abuse Trauma, Grief, Silence and being Silenced are the causes of Death.
UPDATE: We only have $8,000 more to raise ❤️🎉
Kia Ora, my name is Lauren Piiata Tiakitai Turi-Heenan. My beautiful Sun Masada took his life on the 12.05.2020, just before his 33rd birthday, after battling and navigating through the moment to moment of the trauma of S…al Abuse as a child, by a man, at a business dinner we never wanted to attend.
This predator then took his own life a week later, robbing Masada of his process and justice. Masada felt as if he was dying many times over. PTSD.
May 12th 2024 will mark Masada’s 4th Memorial. On September 3rd this year We, my daughter Ahavah and I, will be releasing Masada's energy on top of Mt Masada and then on the 5th September, We will run in the Petra Marathon in honour of Masada’s memory.
Some of Masada’s happiest moments as a child, were discovering things, new information and drawing, painting, sketching and creating. He spoke excitedly of sketching Petra, the Pyramids and climbing Mt Masada, life became busy for Masada, he was a proud Dad to his 3 beautiful children. He never forgot his dream.
Shortly before he passed, he told me laughingly, that we’d get there one day, together… We never did.
We’ve been working hard and We only need to raise $8,000 of the $24,000.00 Any amount donated is appreciated as it all adds up ❤️

Page is closing- thanks for your generous support ❤️ 18 April 2024
We only have $5,000 more to raise ❤️🎉 Thank you to our kind and loving GAL donors 👑❤️🙌🏽
We have almost completed our Fundraising and will be closing this page. Just to let you all know, that there were major changes and tough decisions We had to make as a Whaanau along the way.
The first major change sadly was that the cost was too high for Mayan, Shae and I to complete this journey and instead it will be my daughter Ahavah and I going.
We’ve had incredible support and wonderful friends, Whaanau and strangers who became friends, dig in and make our fundraiser really take off.
The next major milestone that changed, was costings, which was the deciding factor on who/how many could go.
We have one more fundraiser to go, which is currently underway and will raise the last $5000 needed ❤️
Once again, thank you to each of you on this wonderful platform for your time and donation. Much love and blessings from my Whaanau and I ❤️🙏🏾❤️
