Support for Charlottes Whanau

$9,105 donated
Given by 93 generous donors in 4 weeks

Support for Charlottes whanau, especially her children who are dealing with the sudden passing of their beloved Mum.

Hokitika, West Coast

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Charlotte Louise Walker.

Charlotte was a beloved daughter to Wyndy and Bonnie, and a devoted, selfless mother — not only to her own children but to what felt like half the Westland High School population. She was also a cherished aunty, cousin, niece, and a treasured friend to so many.

Her passing has come as a devastating shock, especially to her children — Jesse, Vaughtin, Larissa, Tipene, Kara, Alicia, Summer, Hunter, and Skye. Charlotte was their rock, their safe place, and their guiding light. The pain of losing her is unimaginable, and without her, they feel lost.

Charlotte loved life and had so much more living left to do.

A Givealittle page has been set up to help ease the financial burden on the family during this incredibly difficult time. All proceeds will go toward covering the unexpected funeral and cremation costs, as well as helping with essential household expenses. Your support will also allow family members to take time off work to care for the younger children and begin the healing process.

Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

Charlotte’s family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to every single person who has contributed to this page — whether through a donation, a message of support, or simply by sharing in our grief. Every gesture, big or small, has meant more to us than words can ever truly express.

In the midst of the most heartbreaking and challenging time in our lives, the kindness, generosity, and compassion shown by our community has been a powerful source of comfort. We have been completely overwhelmed — in the most beautiful way — by the outpouring of love, support, and shared memories of our beloved Charlotte.

We feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such a caring and supportive network of family, friends, neighbours, and even strangers who reached out to hold us up when we felt like we were falling apart. Your love has carried us through the darkest of days.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. “Thank you” will never feel like enough, but please know it is filled with every ounce of our love and appreciation.
