For Cherie and her boys, after the sudden loss of their beloved husband and dad as they navigate this heartbreaking time.

Papamoa Beach, Papamoa

Our beautiful friend Cherie, a vibrant, loving mother and a true ray of sunshine, is facing an unimaginable loss. Dave, her beloved husband and the devoted father of her two boys passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving a deep hole in their lives.

Cherie is the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into — always putting others before herself, showing up with kindness, warmth, and that trademark smile. She is an incredible mother, friend, and community member, and now it’s our turn to show up for her the way she’s always shown up for us.

Cherie and her boys are surrounded by love and support from family and friends, but the emotional and financial impact of such a sudden loss is significant. This page has been set up to help ease some of the financial stress during this heartbreaking time — whether it’s to cover funeral costs, provide for the boys, or simply allow Cherie space to grieve without added pressure.

If you’re able to give, no matter how big or small, it will make a world of difference.
