Kia ora kātou,

Those close to the Neels whānau will know of their recent heartbreak – the sudden loss of Ethan, who is still missing following a boating incident. This page has been created for friends, family, and the local community who are looking for a way to support them in this unimaginable time.

To help with ongoing expenses, Ethan's memorial service, and to generally support the family, we've set up this Givealittle page. Every donation will go directly to Ethan's whānau.

If you're able to give, please consider contributing to this fundraiser. Your generosity will help ease the burden on the family as they heal and honour Ethan's memory.

Rest in peace, Ethan. Moe mai rā.

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.
