Aroha for Elijah’s mum and dad by helping Belinda and Heath with funeral costs as they farewell their darling son.

Canterbury

Belinda and Heath have lost their cheeky, kind, loving, loyal, and all-round incredible son, Elijah. A heartbreak beyond words.

At just 22 years old, Elijah was a fit and healthy young man, deeply loved as a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and loyal friend. A gentle giant with a smile and sense of humour that would light up a room.

Elijah's passing is as unbelievable as it is untimely.

In this time of immense grief, we want to help Belinda and Heath with costs for his funeral.

These tragedies bring significant financial strain to a family and any small contribution will help ease that burden.

If you’re able give in Elijah’s memory that would be amazing. Your love and support means the world to his family.
