A good soul lost at sea, please help us find him and bring him home.

For those that know our whānau whom are aware that we have suffered some devastating losses last year and throughout.

In amongst devastation we also have lost another close family member at sea.

Johnny Latimer has been missing since 15th February 2023, few days after the cyclone hit and is yet to be found.

Search and Rescue are doing their best as-well as our family members to find him and bring him home.

I’ve set up this page for funds to be available to the ones who are helping look for our Uncle, brother, cousin, son, and friend. If anyone is needing some putea please get a hold of myself and I can forward you to our point of contact. (Respectfully)

Any remaining amount will go back to the whanau of Johnny as koha.

If you can donate ANYTHING it is appreciated, thank you so much if you do, I know these are challenging times.

We are stronger together, one love whānau ❤️ We love you Uncle Johnny COME HOME SOON

We are still on the search to look for our loved one. I don't have much to add apart from being grateful for everyone who have taken their time and own resources to help our whanau.

Johnny's whanau thank everyone who have gone out of pocket and have been staying and helping everyday, in hopes of his return.

Big thank you to everyone who has donated, this will help the whanau in more ways then one.

And too give a little , thank you. Twice now you've helped my family in need.
