Helping bring Hemi back home

Auckland

It's all come as a huge shock to lose someone we all loved and respected so much. Hemi was living and working in Perth so he could provide the best for his boys back home in Aotearoa / New Zealand. This has meant that our whanau has a challenging financial mountain in front of us to bring Hemi back home.

Any support, great or small, from those who loved Hemi would be greatly valued and appreciated. Any donations left over will be exclusively left to his two boy’s, Tangaroa and Tawhirimatea and will be used for schooling and their development.

Manu Austin's involvement (page creator)

Hemi was not only my brother but my best friend, mentor and inspiration. He was the glue of our family, Mr Organised, Mr Bumbag, Mr Funny guy and he always had a smile on his face. I will miss you bro, will see you soon and always have you in my heart.

Use of funds

-Funeral preparation and services in Perth, Auckland and potentially Sydney

-Flights to Perth to bring him home

-Tangi preperations in NZ

-Any donations left over will be exclusively left to his 2 boys

-All expenses will be published by the family
