Help us support Rochelle & Ben’s family

  • Update/Offer of refund

      8 April 2022

    Thank you to everyone who donated, shared and supported the families, you have no idea how much this means to them.

    Sadly we have discovered we will be unable to get Rochelle and Ben home. While this is difficult to accept, the local people have created a beautiful space for them to be at rest.

    The families still need help with a memorial for some piece of mind and trying to get their personal effects home. This is still going to be expensive and our hope is that everyone is happy for their donations to go toward this.

    We would like to offer you a refund if you prefer though. If you would prefer a refund please contact Givealittle by 5pm Tuesday 19th April at helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz

    Thank you to everyone for your donations, beautiful words and support, the families really appreciate it.

  • Our goal

      5 April 2022

    Please note we are starting our target at $25,000 but we understand that this will be on the lower end of the scale and we may need more than this. Any little donation helps, thank you so much.

      Yes the media have noted Rochelle and Ben have been buried, this was done as per Tongan customs, due to a multitude of reasons. We are still able to try to bring them home. Thank you so much for all the support
