Hi All,
We are doing a minor event in Wellington this Thursday in Memory of the man that was James Close. He was only with us in Wellington for a very short time but he made his presence known very quickly.
James passed away suddenly on the 18th of June & his family had the excruciating task of trying to get him home to Ireland from New Zealand. This is where the very amazing Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust (KBRT) stepped in & provided the assistance & support to the Close family at a very emotionally charged time. They removed alot of stress off his families shoulders so they could concentrate on more important things.
We are doing this night in honour of the very kind & generous man that we were only starting to get to know & to thank the KBRT for there amazing work. I think i speak for all us Irish abroad that i hope that i nor anyone close to me should ever need to contact this wonderful trust but should they require it lets insure they have everything they need to help others through this very difficult time.
Please remember every little counts so even $1 makes a difference. Appreciate all donations received.
