Support Michael’s recovery.

Hawke's Bay

Hi everyone,

It is with a heavy heart that I am seeking support for my brother and his/ our family as he fights for his life in Wellington hospital.

Michael is currently fighting Bacterial Meningitis and the complications that come with this illness. With a 4 month old and a 6 year old at home I’m asking for the love of our community to assist his return to his family who need him. Michael is a fighter, but like any great fighter he needs a large support team around him right now.

We are eternally grateful to anyone who is able to support Michael on this journey.

Michael is a loving brother of mine.

Thank you to everyone who helped Mike pass on peacefully and surrounded by family. Unfortunately Mike is no longer with us and these funds will now go towards covering funeral costs and assisting his family with living expenses.
