A fundraiser supporting Mikayla and Westen Hirst following the passing of their father, Troy Hirst.

Auckland

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Troy Hirst.

Troy was a devoted father to Mikayla and Westen, and a cherished member of both the Lakey Peak and Bali communities, as well as the New Zealand surfing community. Through his kindness, friendship, and passion for surfing, he left a lasting impact on many.

This fundraiser has been created to support Mikayla and Westen as they navigate the difficult road ahead.

Thank you for standing alongside the Hirst family and demonstrating the care and generosity that define our surfing community.

Harrison Mann's involvement (page creator)

This fundraiser account has been created on behalf of Brodie Hirst, Troy Hirst's sister. Brodie will be Mikayla's full-time guardian and primary caregiver in New Zealand, while also providing ongoing support and guidance for Westen.

Use of funds

Donations will help provide for Mikayla's upbringing and education in New Zealand with Troy's sister, Brodie, while also supporting Westen's future in Bali through housing, essential living costs, and assistance as he takes his next steps into adulthood.

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.
