Help Support Hiran Joseph's family

On the 2nd of January 2024, tragedy struck the shores of Karioitahi Beach in Auckland. Hiran Joseph, just 19 years old, was enjoying a swim with his older brother and a close friend when the waters turned treacherous. Struggling against a fierce current, Hiran found himself trapped, pulled by the relentless force of the ocean.

Five agonizing days passed before Hiran's body was discovered, washed ashore at Hamiltons Gap, 20 kilometres from where he vanished. For his family, especially his devastated brother who witnessed the harrowing event, those days were an eternity of fear and despair.
