Tragic Fire Incident Kills Young Man

$2,079 of $10,000 goal
Given by 43 generous donors in 5 weeks

On Wednesday 15 March 2016, my old school friend Zacaria James Woodroofe (aged 20) passed away due to an incidental house fire.

Bay of Plenty

Zac had been cooking a late dinner after a long day's work and mistakenly left his meal unattended whilst he sat down to watch TV. Zac fell asleep and subsequently passed around midnight. Zac’s family and friends are absolutely devastated by this tragic event and words cannot describe the hurt and weight it has had on the community. Zac was loved by everyone, he always put his friends and family before his own needs, he was generous, kind hearted and enjoyed making people laugh. He was a jokester! This accident is heart wrenching and could have happened to any of us. Zac’s puppy also died alongside him in the event of the fire. Due to the circumstances, and the exceedingly high amount of funds required to cover such things as funeral expenses, we are in need of donations. Zac’s family are not the type of people to ask for help, however based on such an unexpected and devastating event we ask that any voluntary contributions made would be of huge assistance!!
