Supporting Hannah Furse and her family after the heartbreaking loss of their son Max in the Mount Maunganui landslides.

Auckland

As so many of you would have seen in the media- our good friend Hannah Furse and her family are facing an unimaginable loss. Their beautiful son, Max, was tragically taken from them in the recent Mount Maunganui landslides.

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing a child. Max was deeply loved, and his loss has left a hole in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. In the midst of their grief, Hannah and her family are now also faced with practical pressures no family should have to carry at such a time.

This Givealittle page has been created to wrap support around Hannah and her family—so they can focus on grieving, remembering Max, and being together, without the added stress of financial burden. Funds raised will help with immediate and ongoing costs, time away from work, and whatever support the family needs as they navigate the days and months ahead.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small, it will make a meaningful difference. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Hannah, her family, and Max in your thoughts.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this heartbreaking time.

A Givealittle has also been set up to support the family of Sharon, Max’s beautiful girlfriend during this devastating time:
