A page for Joel's whanau and followers

Waikato

Many of Joel's friends have contacted us to ask how they can make koha towards the celebration of Joel's life. He has become a well-known personality to many beyond his hometown of Tokoroa through his social media pages and youtube channel Blokescancooktoo.

He travelled the country on hunting and fishing adventures, has amassed a collection of friends and whanau & brought us all along for the journey. Joel has shared his aroha, big laughs and hearty kai with many and we want to enable his following to contribute to the send off he deserves.

Thank you  8 July 2026

Our whānau wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you. We farewelled Joel on Monday in the way he would have loved surrounded by 300-400 of his friends, family and kindred adventurers. We read some of your tributes as part of his eulogy and everyone laughed and cried at your kind words. Your contributions helped this day happen and allowed us to feed everyone (in the days leading up to the funeral and the day of) with kai that Joel would have loved.

Joel gave so much of himself to others and we thank everyone who gavealittle for giving back to him. Aroha nui x

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
