$975 donated
Given by 20 generous donors in around 4 months

Please help Tom to see his grand kiddies b4 terminal cancer finishes his journey in life.

Auckland

Tom is sadly nearing the end of his journey in life, getting the tragic news of terminal cancer at only 50 years of age,

He has no immediate family or finances to carry out his final wishes, and I am reaching out to ask for your help in giving him the farewell he deserves.

Tom is a kind caring man who always puts others before himself never asking for anything and always willing to lend a hand to friends, the young ones that adore him, injured or any animals and the commuity and of course always sharing his catch from fishing with those who needed it, as he loved to provide people from his love of fishing.

I became his family his love and soul mate and he mine.

Tom nursed and supported his mother through termal cancer at home with his love and kindness and respect, as thats the man he is, she was the last of his family, he got his bad news on his mum b day,

My goal is to raise funds for a simple, respectful funeral and a small memorial and scatter his ashes at sea were he had his love of fishing, and say goodbye, it will also help me cover the costs of his funeral arrangements, to fly his grandies up to see him before his short time is up, and getting his car up a running again as it broke down going to the hospital, getting medication as we live in Port Waikato and its a long way to a chemist and to get him to appointments etc while he is able, and being able to get to hospital when needed,

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and generosity during this time.
