Dear Friends,

Our dad, Tony, is a nearly 80-year-old father, grandfather, former chef, and someone who has spent his life caring for others with kindness, generosity, and a great sense of humour.

For more than 20 years, his home has been the centre of his life. It is where we grew up, where he has welcomed family and friends, and where he has built a life filled with memories, simple routines, and the garden he lovingly tends to every morning. Anyone who knows Dad knows that his home is more than just a house - it is where he feels safe, connected, and at peace.

Dad lives alone with his small dog, who keeps him company and helps him stay active each day. After many years as a chef, he still finds joy in cooking for family whenever he gets the chance. His hope is to continue living in the place he loves and to spend his remaining years surrounded by the memories and routines he has built over decades.

But now, that security is at risk.

In recent years, Dad has faced significant challenges, including health setbacks, financial hardship, and ongoing stress. He is now involved in a Supreme Court property matter that could result in the loss of the place he has called home for more than two decades. We are doing everything we can as a family to support him, but the legal process is complex and costly, and he needs help.

We have set up this GoFundMe to help cover the significant legal and professional costs involved in defending his home and navigating this process.

If you are able to help - whether through a donation, sharing Dad’s story with others, or simply sending kind thoughts, messages, and prayers - our family is incredibly grateful.

Thank you for standing with Dad and helping him have the best chance of protecting the home and life he has built.
