HELP JOCELYN HONOUR HER SON LUKE — A TRUE LEGEND GONE TOO SOON
Life can be heartbreakingly cruel.
Only 13 months after burying her beloved husband, our beautiful family friend Jocelyn Rodda has been dealt the unthinkable — the sudden and unexplained loss of her son, Luke.
No warning. And No answers. Just the shock, heartbreak, and a mother left absolutely shattered.

A MOTHER WHO GAVE TO ALL — NOW NEEDS US
If you know Jocelyn, you know.
She’s the rock. The helper. The one who shows up for everyone — whether she knows you or not.
She’s fed the hungry, held the broken, and kept her door (and arms) open to more people than we can count.
Now, she’s the one who needs love, support, and a break from carrying the world.

LUKE WAS ONE OF A KIND
Luke was a larrikin with a lion heart.
He had a cheeky grin, a big laugh, and a crew of mates who loved him to bits.
He left a mark — with his humour, his loyalty, and his big presence.
He deserves a send-off fit for the true legend he was.
But funerals come with huge costs, and Jocelyn is already carrying the weight of grief, confusion, and survival mode.
This isn’t just about a ceremony.
This is about dignity. Honour. Love.
This is about showing up for someone who has never once failed to show up for us.
⸻
OUR GOAL: $12,000
We’re calling on friends, family, Luke’s mates, and our whole community to help raise $12,000 to give Luke the memorial he deserves — and give Jocelyn the peace of mind she deserves.
Every cent goes to:
• Funeral & memorial costs
• Helping Jocelyn stay afloat while she grieves
• Creating something beautiful to honour Luke’s life
⸻
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Donate — whatever you can. Every bit matters.
2. Share this — repost on your socials, tag Luke’s mates, tag your crew.
3. Show love — messages, memories, support. Jocelyn needs to feel surrounded.

A FINAL MESSAGE FROM ME:
If Luke ever made you laugh,
If Jocelyn ever helped you,
If you believe in backing the people who always carry us —
NOW is the time to give back.
Let’s give Luke the farewell of a lifetime.
Let’s give Jocelyn something money can’t buy —
support, love, and proof that she’s not alone.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Let’s rally together. Let’s make it count.
With love,
Kylie Beauglehole
For & On behalf of Jocelyn Rodda and our entire family
