Leidy and James 🕊️🤍

Hamilton, Waikato

On June 1st 2026 there was a tragic car accident on desert road that unfortunately took 3 lives of Leidy, James (8) and baby (7months), Sully (11) being the only survivor, losing her mum and two brothers..

I have set up this page on behalf of my brother in-law (James and Sully’s dad) and my sister Kyra (step mum)

At this stage Leidy and James are currently in Palmerston North waiting for them to be released to us to bring them back home to Hamilton..

Funds will go towards funeral cost and bringing them home to us. To help relieve the stress for my brother and sister not being able to work and to help Sully on her long road to recovering from this tragic accident.

Leidy also had an eldest daughter Marcela that fortunately wasn’t in the accident but will also need the support from losing her mum and siblings..

ACC financial support will be available, but this won't cover everything.

Any donations will be gratefully appreciated.. big or small ❤️❤️❤️

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.
