This page is dedicated to providing a financial buffer for Jade and her daughter as they navigate the sudden loss of Matthew

Christchurch, Canterbury

Reaching out with heavy hearts in support of Jade, the girls and families, while they navigate the unexpected loss of their fiancé, dad, brother, uncle and son.

Following a tragic car accident, Matthew is currently facing his final hours. The sudden and devastating loss has left Jade and Ruby in a position no family should ever have to face. As Matthew faces his final hours, he is currently in the process of organ donation. While this brings a small sense of hope to other families in need, it marks the beginning of an incredibly difficult chapter for Jade and Ruby.

While Jade navigates this grief, the reality of life continues. With their youngest preparing to start school in just a few short weeks, Jade is facing the monumental task of navigating this transition while carrying the weight of unimaginable loss.

Your support during this time will provide a buffer for Jade during her time of need. Our goal is to ease the immediate financial pressure so she can focus on the girls and navigating the journey ahead.

While ACC financial support may be available (if approved), it won't cover everything.

Whether it's a small donation or simply sharing this page, every bit of support is deeply appreciated by them.

Being friends since high school, I’ve seen Jade’s strength firsthand, and now I’m stepping in to hold the space for her while she navigates this unimaginable loss and focuses on her girls.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
