A fundraiser to support the young family of Taina Sinoti, who died in a tragic accident at sea.

Gisborne

Taina Sinoti was one of three Gisborne men who lost their lives in a tragic accident at sea. A treasured son, brother, husband, father and friend to so many, Taina was a pillar of strength to his whānau and the loss for them is truly unfathomable. He leaves behind a beautiful young family, and we, as friends and whānau, want to do everything we can to support them through this incredibly difficult time.

Many people have reached out wanting to help. This is a way to ease the financial burden and support Mel and her babies Ezekiel and Billie-Melanie.
