A fund to support Hugo’s family with unexpected costs as they grieve the loss of their beautiful, smiley boy.

Dunedin, Otago

Four years ago, Hugo arrived in the world and filled the lives of his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him with so much joy. His laughter, warmth, and spark touched countless hearts in his short but precious time with us.

At times like this, it’s hard to know how best to support a family facing the unimaginable. For those who cannot be nearby to share a hug, cook a meal, or simply sit alongside them, this page offers a way to show love and care from afar.

We have set up this page to help ease the burden of the unexpected funeral costs, allowing Hugo’s family to focus on honouring and remembering their beautiful boy.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for holding Hugo’s family in your thoughts and hearts.
