Help ease the financial burden for Steve & Lily as they navigate saying goodbye to their beautiful boy Wai'aryn

Waikato

On Sunday 21st September, Wai'aryn was out doing what he loved, riding his motorcross bike with mates. Sadly, Wai'aryn came off his bike and sustained a head injury unable to survive.

Our boy Wai'aryn is 14 years old and a real go-getter. If there's adrenalin involved, he's there, from snowboarding, wakeboarding, and his true love, motorcross to name just a few. Combine that with all his other interests - rugby, adventures with his beloved Mum & Dad - Lily and Steve, having fun with his mates, spending time with his animals, friends, golfing and fishing - there really isn't enough hours in the day to keep up with him.

Those of you who know him well, will definitely know his cheeky side and that contagious laugh he has, always keen for a joke and laugh, the life of the party, as well as the caring side he has.

This year has been particularly difficult for Wai'aryn's family as only 4 weeks ago, they said goodbye to his beloved Nanna Daph/mum/mum-in-law.

This page has been set up to help ease some of the financial burden on Wai'aryn's parents - Lily & Steve - both now and in the future. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly towards funeral costs and a donation to Starship Hospital where they treated Wai'aryn like royalty.

Your kindness and generosity will make a huge difference and will mean so much to the Mills/Hoet whānau. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.
