Bring Grazi Home To Rest In Peace
Donation protected
My name is Dale Forbes and on Thursday 30th of June 2016, I received a phone call to let me know that we had lost a dear friend.
I met Grazi, a father of four beautiful children, about 12 years ago at the first Burn Foundation Australia Retreat for Burn Survivors held at Mangrove Mountain in NSW. We had such a great time and the two of us became great mates. Over the years we attended a few more camps and eventually ended up running the charity with the help of a few other amazing people. Grazi showed incredible strength and resilience to overcome his demons of his past and forge a new identity. Grazi moved to Perth to continue his passion for helping others through similar experiences. This saw Grazi go on to achieve wonderful things for Burn Survivors and became an advocate for people living with a mental illness. Grazi has had such an positive impact on many peoples life's and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Grazi's family is devasted to have lost a man as passionate and charismatic as our Graz. They are greiving and doing there best to pull through a very difficult time. On top of that they are also trying make funeral arrangements and for Grazi to be flown home from Perth. This can sometimes be a costly venture and so what better opportunity for the community to give back to a man who spent so much of his life giving to others. Your donations will go towards the associated costs of Bringing Grazi Home and laying him to rest. Any addition funds will then be donated to Lifeline to contunie Grazi's legacy in helping others who are in need.
Remember if you are struggling with depression don't suffer in silence, reach out to someone or call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and please look after yourselves. Be safe
