Help Support the Mckinley’s

Donation protected
In the loving memory of the late, Connie Mckinley. Loved and respected by all.

When a loving family of 4, became 2. Saturday November 12th marks the day that both Balin (25) and Tian (15) were suddenly faced with the reality that life as they knew it had just flipped upside down and shown them just how tough life really can be.

A future full of fear, uncertainty and emptiness is what surrounds them now and we want to help. It breaks our hearts to again be saying goodbye to one of our beautiful parents in 2022. We just can't understand how life can be so unforgiving and cruel.

Connie, our gorgeous mum, who we couldn't be more grateful for and proud of, lost her very brief battle with Cancer aged 53. After losing our dad in January unexpectedly to suicide, and the heartbreak that followed, it's safe to say that the universe was planning to reunite our parents. We just weren't prepared in any sense for it to be this soon. Mum was an absolute pillar of strength this year for us, working relentlessly day and night to provide a sense of calm, safety and security. She was our rock. We love her so much and would do anything to have her back, just to give her a cuddle.

Tian had the horrific experience of finding her mum while with her boyfriend Jayden when they arrived home. Tragically, it was too late and Connie had passed with nobody around to give her a fighting chance. Without Connie, Balin and Tian now have an unfathomable level of emotional and financial strain, having immediately inherited close to $1,000,000 in debt both business and property related. No will was set in place, no family is able to assist financially and they no doubt have absolutely zero direction on how to tackle what's to come let alone mourn and grieve their mum.

They are finding it so unbelieveably difficult to be seeking any assistance after what they went through in January, in which they received amazing support, but they are completely out of their depth.

Myself, along with the rest of his close friends believe it's exactly what they deserve, as this level of trauma and hardship at such a young age is so unfair. I know that they would be so appreciative and thankful to anybody that can help in any way, even if it's just to give them some breathing room while they figure out how to move forward.
