They Always Helped Others, Now They Need Our Help

I’d like to tell you about Joseph and Abra Riley

Joseph Riley was a lung cancer patient who gave everything he could to others, primarily through Kiva.

He and his wifa, Abra were in the US helping Abra’s mother who was very ill. In the middle of August, as they were getting reay to head home to Sydney, Josepth’s remaining lung collapsed. He was released after about 2 weeks and the were getting ready to head home again when the lung collapsed fr the second time. On the 12th of October, he passed away. For more details on his story go to JosephRileyMemorial.com.

Having spent everything on travel and medical expenses already, Abra no longer has any way to get him back home to Sydeny, is last wish and her last promise.

The funeral home and travel will cost about $10,000 and we have been going non-stop for 5 days trying to raise it. We’re almost halfway there from donations ranging from $1 to an anonymous donation of $1000. Anything you can do to help is appreciated. Even if you can’t help financially, just spread the word to your friends and social groups.

We’ve been running a 24/7 chatroom since Saturday night, now at the SWAT Conference Room.

Once again, the website to go to for information or donations is JosephRileyMemorial.com

Thanks in advance for whatever you can do
Diane Merriam
