Support for James to take his Mum's ashes to his brother Chas in Hawaii

Lyttelton, Canterbury

On the 25th of December 2022 dear Jaimee passed away after only a few months of living with stage 4 cancer. Since her diagnosis Jaimee suffered with severe pain and illness and was unable to do the things she had wished to do. In particular she was not able to reunite with her son Chas and it is James's wish to take his Mothers ashes to his brother Chas who lives in Hawaii.

Mel Karst's involvement (page creator)

James now lives with myself and my son Manaia (his best mate). I am James's guardian.

Use of funds

All money will be spent on James's travel to Hawaii and Chas and James's time together, celebrating their beautiful Mum.
