Koha for Ngaia whānau in memory of Aunty Carol
Helping the Ngaia whānau cover tangihanga and funeral costs after the passing of our Aunty Carol
Waitara, Taranaki
Our Aunty Carol (Carol Kitty Ngaia) passed away in July 2025 while living in Redcliffe, Brisbane. It has been a big job for our whānau to organise everything and bring her home, with niece Huia in Brisbane carrying much of the responsibility and costs.
We are asking for support to help cover expenses for bringing Aunty home and her tangihanga. Any contribution will be a big help and is very much appreciated by our whānau.
