It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our taonga — daughter, sister, niece, cousin, aunty and nanny, Ngatau Miriama Maata Makereta Ruhi.

Ngatau was an amazing, bright and talented young wahine. She was always willing to lend a hand and brought so much light to those around her. She also loved gaming and was known by many as the best Fortnite player.

Our whānau is now facing the heartbreaking task of bringing our beloved girl home from Australia after her sudden passing.

We are asking for any support to help whānau bring her home and assist with the costs during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, big or small, would mean so much to her family.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support.
