Help to fund funeral costs of teen son

Christchurch, Canterbury

I had a knock at the door tonight by police with the worst news a mother can get....my son (19yrs) had died. I'm a solo mum on a benefit with another son and daughter with no means to pay for what my son deserves.

Use of funds

Funeral costs...coffin, service, burial and all other costs that may arise.

Many thanks  22 May 2025

On behalf of myself, Matt and Niki we'd like to thank all who donated. The funds received are planned for his headstone (unveiled in 1yr but bought now), otherwise will go to Simplicity funerals if my acc funeral claim is rejected. This had helped lift the weight so thankyou!!! Forever 19, fly high Eli. We will miss you.
