Supporting the Boyce -Da Cruz whanau

Christchurch, Canterbury

The world has lost a little bit of sparkle....

We are devastated and heartbroken by the loss of the vivacious Glamazon and wahine toa - Samantha Jan Boyce-Da Cruz.

This incredible being, inspired so many and filled our lives with joy and sparkle.

Sam suffered major bleeding in the brain on Monday morning. On Wednesday 14th February at 10.53am, surrounded by loved ones, she passed away.

Even in death, she continues to share her love, by donating her organs to five different people.

Five people's lives have been extended and countless people will now have the opportunity to spend more time with their loved ones.

What a magnificent gift of Aroha. Even after she has left us, she continues to give to others.

Many of you are lost for what to do, and no amount of money will fix the hurt and pain that the family is feeling, but removing barriers to allow them to grieve without financial stress would be a significant support and greatly appreciated.

This fund will go directly to Hudson, Huddy, and Nova to be spent in any way they feel necessary in this incredibly difficult time.

Her loved ones are eternally grateful for everyone's enormous force of support.

Sam, you were a joyous whirlwind of animal print, hugs and that amazing belly laugh! My thoughts are with her whanau, especially Huddy and Nova, she was an incredibly proud mumma bear to you both. The way you stood beside and behind our LC kids is something I'll always remember about you, my friend 🧡 💚💛🩵🩷
