Providing practical support for Shirley in her loss.

Dunedin, Otago

Shirley’s precious Casper died suddenly on January 20th. We all want to reach out and offer support but sometimes it’s hard to know how. We believe that financial aid to pay for the trip to Adelaide for Casper’s funeral is a practical way to support our friend during this tragic time.

Use of funds

The money will be given to Shirley to offset the costs of travelling to and from Adelaide for Casper’s funeral.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful donations. I know that Shirley is blown away by the support and generosity everyone has shown. She and Ben were able to travel to Adelaide for Casper's funeral and are now home again. If you are close to Shirley, remember that grieving is not a quick, tidy process, so your continued friendship and support is needed more than ever. Let's continue to be there for her.
