Raising funds to support Luke’s family during this difficult time.

Wellington

We are raising funds to support Luke’s family following his sudden passing in Australia.

Luke was a bright, cheeky, and truly wonderful young man whose life was tragically cut short far too soon. He was deeply loved and will be forever missed by his sister Kendelle, brother Keaton, and his loving mum Sam, along with his aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends.

Luke’s family is now facing an incredibly difficult and emotional time as they navigate funeral arrangements and the many unexpected costs that come with losing a loved one so suddenly while overseas. The financial burden, on top of the immense grief they are experiencing, is overwhelming.

This Givealittle page has been set up to help ease some of that pressure and allow the family to focus on supporting one another and honouring Luke’s life. All funds raised will go directly toward funeral expenses and related costs during this time, such a travel costs and accommodation.

Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean so much to Luke’s family. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is also a meaningful way to help.

The family thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

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.
