Support for Sarah whilst she grieves the loss of her husband/father of her 4 children.

Hamilton, Waikato

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden and unexpected loss in our family. Josh McFarlane passed away in a tragic accident, leaving behind his wife Sarah and 4 young children.

As we navigate this difficult time, we appreciate your love, prayers and kind words. We are setting up this donation page for Josh's immediate family to help cover the expenses that come with such a loss.

We understand that no amount of money will fix the hurt and pain that Sarah and her family are feeling, but removing barriers to allow this family to grieve without financial stress would be a significant support and greatly appreciated.

My heart aches to have lost such a good friend. I hope the new year brings you a fresh start Sarah. Starting new adventures and new memories to share as a family, we will never forget Josh and the great memories we have of him. Love you all and happy new year! Peace out
