Donate to help with funeral expenses

Donation protected
Volunteers from the Tamil community are fundraising to pay for a funeral for Asaippillai Sivakumar (49) from Toongabbie who was a permanent resident of Australia. He recently passed away under tragic circumstances. His wife and son are in Sri Lanka and do not have funds to pay for the funeral. They have reached out to us with a heartfelt plea to ensure that their beloved husband and father is given a dignified and respectful farewell.

The late Asaippillai Sivakumar arrived in Australia over twelve years ago as a refugee. After receiving his PR several years ago, his employment issues and mental health issues caused him significant anxiety and deep depression. It is believed that this emotional strain was a major contributing factor to his passing. Despite determined efforts by his wife and son to be with him during his final days, their hopes of reuniting were sadly not fulfilled. Community advocates are planning a funeral service and seek donations from the public. The estimated cost for the funeral is up to $8,500. Any funds received in excess of the funeral costs will be remitted to the family for their living expenses as they have lost their sole breadwinner.
