Supporting Nikora’s whānau with tangihanga costs and care during an unimaginable loss.

Hawke's Bay

With the permission of Nikora’s whānau, this Givealittle page has been created to help support his family during an incredibly traumatic and heartbreaking time.

Nikora was a treasured son of Pam and Te Whaaro, a loving brother to Ariana, Shelby, and Phoenix, and a devoted father to Ares and Leo. He was deeply loved and held close by his whānau and those who knew him.

Nikora also shared a close and respectful relationship with Ash, the mother of his boys and their bond remained strong through their shared love and commitment to their children.

Nikora’s life was taken suddenly and violently, leaving his whānau devastated and facing an overwhelming period of grief.

The funds raised will go directly toward tangihanga costs and to help ease the immediate financial pressure on Nikora’s whānau as they navigate the shock, grief, and aftermath of losing him.

While government and ACC financial assistance may be available (if applied for), this won't cover everything.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help support the whānau during this time.

Thank you for your aroha, kindness, and support.

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.
