💜 Help Nevaeh’s Whānau Rebuild After Tragic House Fire 💜

On Friday night, a devastating fire tore through a home in Cambridge, claiming the life of 14-year-old Nevaeh Ngamoki-Porter – a beloved daughter, sister, friend, and a cherished student of Rototuna Junior High School.

Nevaeh, whose name is “Heaven” spelled backwards, was a radiant soul who lived up to her name in every way. Her deep passion for Kapa Haka and Te Reo Māori, and her boundless energy, brought life and joy to her school community. She was a proud member of Tuna Whakapeke and Raratuna, and her vibrant spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

This unimaginable tragedy has not only left a family heartbroken but has also taken everything they owned. Nevaeh’s whānau are now faced with the unbearable grief of losing a child, while also having to completely start over – finding a new home, replacing all their belongings, and rebuilding their lives from scratch.

All funds raised through this Givealittle page will go directly to Nevaeh’s whānau to help with:

Emergency housing and long-term accommodation

Replacing essential belongings lost in the fire

Supporting the whānau as they begin the long journey of healing

Please give a little to support this beautiful whānau through a time no one should ever have to endure.

Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your generosity. Every donation, every share, every kind word makes a difference.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui.

🕊️ Moe mai rā, Nevaeh. Your light will never fade. 🕊️
