Please help if you can to bring this boy Luke home who is lost at sea to his Mum Jo and Sister Kate 💙

Hamilton, Waikato

We have just had a call to say Lukes body has been found. He was under the foot bridge in Raglan. Please if you could still donate for help with funeral costs that will be awesome as this has been a struggle.

Luke 31 was camping at Raglan camp ground for a couple of nights and his last contact with family and friends ended Tuesday night while out fishing enjoying himself. At around 9.39pm his phone stopped working everyone thought his battery was flat but after no contact with his Mum for 2 days she went out to Raglan expecting find him at the campground.

Now nearly a week later police are convinced where Luke entered the water fishing he was on a sand bar and he hasn't noticed the tide coming in and it has caught him out.

Please if any one can help Jo. Luke has a younger Sister Kate and they are all Jo has got, her life has always revolved around her kids.

It's the after care of this family as well they have no financial means so all your donations would be greatly received.
