Rae Solomon-Stewart - Sorry Business Fundraiser

Help us Properly Honour the Life of Aunty Rae Solomon-Stewart

With great sadness, Rae Stewart (nee Solomon) passed away at 5.18am 20th September 2021, our dearest Matriarch and Senior Elder of the Monaro Ngarigo, Aunty Rae Stewart, passed away peacefully in her sleep at 88 years of age.

Known to Many as 'Aunty Rae', 'Nan', and by her traditional name of 'Gar-nary' (meaning rainmaker).

The Family of Aunty Rae is asking the community for assistance with funding Aunty Rae's memorial services. Due to covid19 restrictions, the family and all the mob are not able to attend Aunty Rae's funeral and burial in person and will be organising a larger ceremony and celebration of life after restrictions ease. This means the family will need to try and fund two separate memorial services. And also, will need to fund families return to Monaro-Ngarigo country for ceremony and healing. So these are three different sorry business events that involve travel and accommodation.

Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated, every contribution will help us to be able to properly honour Aunty Rae during these times.
