Please help us lay Tommy to rest

Canterbury

On the 20 April 2020 we lost our beloved Brother, Dad and Uncle due to natural causes. Tommy was rushed into hospital after having a stroke and sadly didn't make it. Due to the Lockdown rules it's been very tough for the family and his children, not being able to be with him or give him a send off he deserves. This also comes with the very high costs of a funeral, we have been told that it's between $10,000 - $11,000 and until we have payment we can not go ahead with any plans and we just want to lay Tommy to rest. Unfortunately loans have been denied and we have run out of options to be able to come up with such a large sum in a short time. We would normally never turn to anything like givealittle but we are out of options. We would greatly appreciate any donations we receive. All payments will go into my dads account who is trying his best to make this happen and give Tommy a send off.

We would all like to send a huge thank you to each and everyone of you that made a kind generous donation to help us lay Uncle Tommy to rest. With all the help from you all we made everything possible. I would like to let you all know that yesterday 30th April we had a beautiful send off for Tommy, the service was live streamed for all of us to watch. Tommys children and siblings were at the service followed by a beautiful burial at the cemetery with other family keeping in their bubbles and at a distance.
