Help for costs

Uncle Martin Ballangarry needs our help to cover the funeral costs after the tragic loss of his son Kevin.

Last Thursday 18 August, Uncle Martin Ballangarry lost his much loved son Kevin way too young. At 47, Kevin - a proud Gumbayggirr warrior and passionate musician and songwriter – was getting ready to embark on tour with his brothers and father to share culture, music and dance with their band Jumbaal Dreaming...

Uncle Martin is hard not to spot at any community or cultural event across the Mid North Coast, always digging deep and giving so much to the community he loves. Now he needs our help.

Basic funeral costs are hard enough to afford, let alone a wake, taking care of all the family members coming to town to connect and pay respects, and looking after Kevin’s immediate family.

I know everyone is doing it tough at the moment. If you could afford even the smallest amount to help the family at this time of great heartache, it will be so appreciated.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness and support, and whatever you are able to share with the family.

(Once the funeral date is decided, it will be added here) The Ceremony for Kevin will be on Tuesday 13 September at the Mish at Bowraville.
