Dear Friends,

Our dad, Tony, has been experiencing a lot of stress and in need of help. Thanks for taking the time to read about the recent events that have caused this:

Dad is nearing his 80s and is a pensioner. He has lived in the same home for over 20 years — it’s where we grew up, where he’s built a life, and where he’s always welcomed friends and family with open arms. Anyone who knows our dad knows he has so often put other people first and been a person of generosity, kindness and good humor. Over the years, his house has become a place of comfort and rest, filled with memories, simple routines, and the garden he lovingly tends to every morning. He lives alone with his small dog who keeps him company and helps him to get his body moving each day. Dad's desire is to live out his remaining years in his home.

But now, he’s at risk of losing it.

Dad has faced some incredibly tough times in recent years — health setbacks, financial hardship, and mounting stress — and now there is an ongoing court proceeding that could result in Dad losing his home. We’re doing everything we can as a family to support him, but he needs your help.

We’ve set up this GoFundMe to help Dad with:

- legal and professional costs related to the case, and

- housing stability, so he can remain safely housed while matters are resolved.

If you’re in a position to help — whether it’s with a donation, sharing this with others, or sending kind thoughts, words and prayers — we are so deeply grateful.

Thank you for standing with us and helping to give Dad the safety, dignity and security he deserves.

With gratitude,

The Sim family
