Support for Sam’s 4 children during a time of heartbreak

It is with heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Sam Hes - a beloved son, dad, brother, uncle, nephew and friend. His loss has left an unimaginable void in the lives of his family 💔

Sam’s four beautiful children - Eva (22.5 months), Cohan (4), Dakota (6) and Abby (7) live with and are cared for by Josh (Sam’s twin brother) and his partner Meg, in Victoria.

In the midst of their grief, we’re reaching out to ask for support - emotionally, spiritually, and, if you’re able to, financially. No amount is too small, and simply sharing this post helps more than you may realise.

Donations will go directly toward the costs of bringing Sam from Darwin to his children and family in Victoria, supporting Sam’s children with their immediate needs as a result of his passing, and allowing Josh and Meg to focus solely on the children in the foreseeable future. Funds will also help provide stability as they navigate a life without him in it.

In time, it is the family’s hope to celebrate Sam’s life in Australia. It is also hoped that, in the future, Josh, Meg and the children will be able to travel to New Zealand to bring Sam’s extended family together and honour everything he meant to them.

Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time, and always remember to take a moment to check in on your loved ones.
