During this time of unimaginable and tragic loss, we want to help Bec look forward, and live her life, just as Stephen would have wanted.

Auckland

On the 24th May 2019, Stephen was tragically killed by a driver under the influence of methamphetamine and excess alcohol.

Stephen was dearly loved by his family and friends and was cherished partner to Bec. In an instant, their lives were torn apart.

Heartbreakingly, only hours before this tragedy, Stephen had visited a fertility clinic to start the journey of having a family with Bec. That lifelong dream is now destroyed.

Almost five months have passed and still people are asking how to help Bec. We are still at a loss as to what to do, because in reality all Bec wants is Stephen home, looking for chips in the pantry.

However, without Stephen Bec has faced, and continues to face, the unimaginable.

She has fought tirelessly for justice and to give Stephen a voice. Every day since the 24th of May has been a torturous fight for Bec and those that loved Stephen.

Tragically, and unnecessarily, stolen from Bec is her chance to have a family with her one and only true love of thirteen years.

Stephen loved Bec, and we know he would only want the best for her. We know Stephen would want her to put one foot in front of another, keep their home that they built together, raise their puppy Stanley to be the most awesome companion for Bec, watch rugby league (and every other sport imaginable), and smile remembering the amazing 13 years they had together.

When we suggested that we start a page and ask for help, Bec was initially reluctant, but then a friend said “Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it". It is for this reason we established this Give A Little Page.

Bec is my friend, and our family ... we just want to help in anyway we can.

Use of funds

Help Bec navigate through the incredibly tough journey ahead, helping pay her mortgage, rates, insurances, counselling, and so many other costs she would not have had to face if not for this this tragic turn of events.
