Remembering Angus - in lieu of flowers

$6,320 donated
Given by 103 generous donors in 3 days

In lieu of flowers his family would prefer donations be made to Turning Point; a Tauranga based mental health and addictions support Trust.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Angus Heays left this world tragically far too soon.  He was a bright and talented young man who was kind and caring, quick with good advice for anyone who asked for it.  He loved the arts and won accolades as an actor, poet and writer.  He performed many times at Detour Theatre and loved the gem shop at Historic Village.  He was our wise, old soul who was also suffering with his own mental challenges and well being.  Our promise to Angus was to publish his novel entitled "Into the Trees" and donate profits to mental health.  In the same vein we set up this Give-a-Little to support this vital and much needed work.
