TRAGIC FIRE TOOK EVERYTHING INCLUDING OUR 2 TAONGA

Tēnā Koutou Katoa,

In Loving Memory of Kelly Ann Kemble and Kelly Jnr

On a tragic Thursday in Southland, Manapouri, we lost our dear Taonga Kelly and her beloved son, Kelly Jnr, in a devastating fire. Kelly is survived by her loving partner Jason Hoggard, her six children, and 7 grandchildren, who are now facing the unexpected and unimaginable pain of losing both their mother and brother.

We are raising funds to bring our taonga back to Northland, where they can be laid to rest surrounded by whānau and friends.

Additionally, we also want to support Kelly's devoted partner, Jason Hoggard, who has lost everything. Kelly spoke highly to me of Jason and referred to him as 'My Guy'—a doting, loving, and generous man who also adored her son Kelly Jnr. Help us to thank Jase and help him to rebuild his life from scratch as they also didn't have insurance.

We also seek support for Kelly's children who will need assistance during this time of profound grief and loss. Any koha towards tangihanga costs, flights, petrol, and support especially for the younger children will be greatly appreciated. Your generosity will provide the manaakitanga and aroha they need.

Whakataukī:

He aroha whakatō, he aroha puta mai.

If kindness is sown, then kindness you shall receive.

We deeply appreciate your aroha. Every contribution will help Jason and also Kelly's children through their grief and ensure Kelly and Kelly Jnr are laid to rest with mana and aroha.

Arohanui ki a koutou katoa.
