In loving memory of Matthew Ballard (Please help support Matthew's family during this tough time)

This page has been set up to help Matthew's family with the extra expenses after his sudden death, 17th March 2021.

I must start by saying, on the behalf of Ballard's family we would like to say a massive thank you for all the love, prayers, support, beautiful kind words and gifted wishes that have been passed on.

With the passing of Matthew being very sudden and heartbreaking, a unique glistening bright light has gone out & the sorrow at present is inescapable.

On the 17th of March, Matthew Ballard has gained his wings, Matthew was tragically involved in a car accident which has happened in Dargaville early hours of the morning. Matthew had passed away at the scene when the car he was driving collided with a truck.

Any donations/money raised will go directly to Matthew's parents, to help with these costs. Matthew's fur baby who also was involved in this incident is seriously injured.

'Koda' Matthews puppy has suffered a tender injury, Koda has broken a bone in her pelvis and is currently undergoing surgery (19th March), this operation is to be followed through down in Auckland where a specialist can best assist her. This surgery is a huge expense & we wish to ask you all if you can help Koda & Matthew's parents, friends and family in this emotional time.

Matthew will be vividly remembered for his love of animals, massively unique personality, caring nature and wonderful simile.
