Hi everyone, my name is Sidney Ruka, and I’m raising money for my little brother Darren’s funeral.

Darren shared the brightest light. He always made us smile, and he had this beautiful way of making everyone feel seen and loved. He taught me and so many others what it really means to be kind to anyone, no matter who they are.

Losing him has left us feeling without. As my family and I prepare to say our final goodbyes, we’re asking for any support to help cover funeral costs, so we can give Darren the farewell he deserves.

Any contribution, no matter how small, means the world to us. If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this page — it truly helps more than you know.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this difficult time.

With blessings

Sidney and whanau ❤️
