Dear friends and well-wishers,

My Name: Haresh Patel

We recently moved to Adelaide from India in December 2024, seeking a new beginning with our young family. In June 2025, we were blessed to have our parents (in-laws) join us to help care for our children and share in our journey. However, our joy was tragically interrupted.

On the morning of 6th September 2025, our beloved father suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at home shortly after returning from his morning walk with the senior citizens group. Despite immediate emergency care and the tireless efforts of paramedics, we lost him.

His passing has left an irreplaceable void in our hearts. We are currently preparing for his Hindu ritual cremation here in Australia, awaiting the arrival of his son, Jatin Patel, so we may honour him with the farewell he deserves.

As a newly migrated family, we are facing significant financial challenges in covering the hospital, ambulance, and funeral costs. We humbly request your support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us give our father the dignified farewell he deserves and ease the burden on our grieving family.
