Hi my name is Monique and I’m fundraising to support the unexpected costs and ongoing needs following the sudden and tragic passing of my father, Tor Henry.

On 16 June 2025, my dad passed away unexpectedly. He was just 44 years old. His death is now under coronial investigation due to serious concerns around how the emergency response was handled. Right now, I’m navigating deep grief, uncertainty, and overwhelming responsibility — all on my own.

My dad had no immediate family other than me. I am his only child and everything from organising his farewell to managing the legal and medical processes — has fallen on my shoulders. It’s been incredibly difficult emotionally, mentally, and financially, especially as this was something I never could have prepared for.

In 2023/2024, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. He went through the entire experience — including chemotherapy — completely on his own. I didn’t even know he was sick until after he had finished treatment and beaten it. He never reached out or told me how bad things were — not because he didn’t need support but because he didn’t want to worry me or be a burden.

That was just who he was — quietly strong, fiercely independent, and always thinking of others first, even when he was struggling the most.

Against the odds, he amazingly overcame the cancer. I was so proud of how strong and brave he was through it all. He gave everything he had to keep going.

While going through his things after he passed, I found a small note he had written that said "2024 would be his comeback year." Reading that broke my heart. He had hope, he had plans, he was ready to start again — but that time was heartbreakingly short-lived.

My dad was the kindest, authentic, patient, and fun-loving father you could ever have.I feel so lucky and proud to have had him as my dad. He truly was one of a kind and he deserved more time in this world.

️Why I'm Asking for Support

I’m currently facing:

Unexpected funeral and memorial costs

Legal support and advocacy through the coronial process

Potential costs for accessing reports, documents, and professional help

The weight of doing this alone, while grieving, has been immense. It’s incredibly hard for me to put this out there, because no one ever wants to be in this position — but the truth is, I’m not in a financial position to cover everything that’s now required, and that’s why I’m reaching out.

❤️ How You Can Help

If you’re able to donate, please know that every contribution big or small — truly helps ease the load and gives me the chance to honour my dad with the care and dignity he deserved.If you're not in a position to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser with others is just as valuable. Your support in any form means more to me than words can express.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With love,

Monique
