Tutira, Hawke's Bay
Please help Kalin Chrystal’s family in Tutira tragedy:
As reported in The NZHerald, Kalin Chrystal’s father, Bill Chrystal, dug for several hours in the dark through four metres of mud trying to save his partner, Shona Wilson, after a slip crashed through their Tutira home early on Tuesday morning.
Shona, a mother of three teenagers, did not survive. She is the first confirmed fatality in Hawke’s Bay.
Cyclone Gabrielle has devasted this family and if you are able to give a little it would be so appreciated.
Kia Kaha to all the Chrystal Family – we love you and are standing with you all the way.
All donations are made directly to Kalin Chrystal.
A big thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
