Raising funds to cover sudden funeral and associated costs for Josh. Any support helps the family during this heartbreaking time.

Hamilton, Waikato

Our hearts have been shaken by the sudden passing of our beloved Josh, whose life ended far earlier than anyone expected. There was no time to prepare, no gentle runway to gather resources or plan for what comes next.

We are raising funds to help the family cover essential funeral and associated costs: the service, burial or cremation, and the practical expenses that arrive in the middle of grief. Every contribution, no matter the size, lightens the load during an overwhelming moment and gives the family space to focus on honouring our precious Josh with dignity.

If you’re able to support, thank you. If you cannot donate but can share this page, thank you. Your kindness forms a small circle of shelter around the people who need it most right now.
