Sam Chrimes

On the 5th January, late Friday afternoon the world lost one of the most cheekiest, kind hearted, adventurous and loving people - our best mate 'Sam'.

Sam and his beautiful fiancé Vanessa were child hood sweet hearts and had been together since she was 14 and he was 17.

In the almost 9 years they were together they only ever spent 2 nights away from each - a true sign of their love they shared.

At the end of last year Sam, Vanessa and a group of friends were camping in Woolgoolga on their annual holiday.

On NYE Sam got down on one knee and proposed to Ness during the count down.

A dream come true for them both and of course she said 'yes'.

Sadly, 5 days later Sam tragically passed away in a horrific car accident not far from their camp site and now Vanessa is left in a state of disbelief and grief. She is totally devastated, heartbroken and experiencing a sadness none of us could possibly ever even come close to understanding especially as she is only 23.

We want to help her in her grieving process even just a fraction by helping her financially so their bills and finances is one less thing she has to think about.

Ness works by helping others in the community and doesn't receive any annual or family leave.

She is now without 2 incomes and shouldn't have to go back to work while she is suffering horrendously with grief and sadness.

We are asking you to please dig deep and donate what ever you can spare to help our friend so she can focus on herself both physically and emotionally while she starts her journey to try and put her life back together somewhat.

Sam was always such a generous guy who would do anything for his mates and especially his fiancé whom he adored and would help his mates out in a heart beat and we know he would be so grateful if you can help support his beloved Vanessa through her new journey.
