Help us honour Zac's wishes for his Funeral to be held in New Plymouth — the place he called home and where he wanted to be laid to rest.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Our beloved Zac passed away peacefully this morning (Monday 11th), surrounded by love. As a whānau, we are now preparing to honour his wishes for his Funeral to be held in New Plymouth — the place he called home and where he wanted to be laid to rest.

Bringing Zac home comes with significant costs that our whānau are unable to carry alone, and so we are humbly asking for support during this heartbreaking time.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us take another step towards fulfilling Zac’s final wishes and giving him the farewell he deserves, surrounded by his whānau, friends, and community.

If you are unable to donate, we would be deeply grateful if you could share this page with others who may wish to support our family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the aroha, kindness, and support that has carried us through these darkest days. We will never forget it.

- Jessica, Corey, Jaya, Zeke, Eliya, & Noa.

ACC financial support may be available (if approved), but this won't cover everything.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
