Help us give Wayne the farewell he deserves

Trigger Warning: This post contains the name and story of a deceased Indigenous person.

Please proceed with care and respect, especially if this content may be distressing or culturally sensitive for you.

Wayne was a vibrant 14-year-old boy with a complex disability who touched the hearts of everyone who knew him. Despite the challenges he faced, Wayne was a happy, spirited child who loved life, especially Footy and his beloved West Coast Eagles.

After spending the past three months in hospital following a routine procedure, Wayne tragically passed away shortly after being discharged. His loving family stood by his side every step of the way, providing constant care, strength, and support through his medical journey.

We are now reaching out to our community to help give Wayne the send-off he truly deserves. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go toward covering funeral costs and supporting the family during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us.

Thank you for helping us honour Wayne’s memory.
