The Tyrell family - Get Poe home

$405 donated
Given by 8 generous donors in 7 days

Help the Tyrell family get their beloved husband/father/pa to Samoa to lay rest.

Canterbury

Beloved Husband/Dad/Pa Ioapo Poe Tyrell was diagnosed with cancer last year. He has now been told that he has days to live. He will leave behind a loving wife, 6 children and 6 grandchildren. His final wish is to go back home to Samoa to lay rest.

This will cost the family over $30,000 and they have no sure way to meet this cost.

The emotional strain for the family at this time is unbearable and now they have to start thinking about the financial strain when he does pass.

Every little bit counts and will go toward any cost associated with getting Poe and family over to Samoa for his final resting place.

Faafetai tele lava,

The Tyrell family

Jamie Christie's involvement (page creator)

Pene (daughter of Poe) is my closest friend. She moved down to Christchurch when her Dad was diagnosed and I would love to do anything to help her family during this extremely difficult time.

Use of funds

Any money raised will be put toward the cost of getting Poe over to Samoa alongside his family.
