It's OK to ASK for Help
Mangawhai Heads, Northland
As many of know, we lost our good friend Rob/Robbo/Robbie on Friday 23 June 2023, after a short battle with stage 4 lung cancer.
In December 2021 we welcomed Rob into our home, to live with us after a horrific ordeal of being kidnapped, beaten, tortured & stripped of all his personal belongings. This torture was inflicted by people whom Rob had considered his friends. These people tortured him for 3 days solid & miraculously he managed to escape the chair he had been tied too & from that moment, Rob never spoke of the event, as he was petrified that "they'd find him & finish him off" As a family & support crew of 'Rob's Boys' we took it upon ourselves to do whatever we could to keep Rob safe.
Fast forward to January 16 2023 - the day I admitted Rob into hospital, where he was given what he described as "his death sentence" - 6 months to live.
The Cancer took over Rob's frail body & he gave up the fight.
Rob had set MANY wishes in place & was of perfect sound mind at the time of his passing.
We were blown away with the turnout at his Farewell, it was a testament to the great man he was.
After a financially difficult period of time supporting Rob in his final months, we are asking for help & support to help cover his Funeral costs ($7,842) LESS the Funeral Grant Subsidy from WINZ & we have been given 30 days to find the remaining $5,842.
This is an extremely difficult position for us to be asking for help, but any small contribution would make a world of difference to us.
Rob was a part of our FAMILY - it was our Honour to love & care for him & to keep him safe from harm
Purely for the Funeral Costs at Morris & Morris Funeral Home

On behalf of Sterl & myself, we would like to take a moment to say a heartfelt THANKYOU to all of you who supported us with your genourous donations, when making this Fundraiser was such an incredibly hard thing for us to even do - its just not our thing to ask for help. We are so humbled & grateful to every single one of you.
Thanks to your kindness, we have now settled Rob's Funeral expenses & can start making steps to moving forward with our life without Rob.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU xox
