The family of a young man murdered before Christmas are starting to raise money for a trust in his honour so they can keep helping the community where he volunteered so much of his time.
Rima Sikei, 21, died on December 7 after he was stabbed.
A man has been charged with his murder and is currently before the courts.
Sikei worked as a landscaper and in his spare time he would go to the Mt Roskill community centre and mentor troubled youths.
He also volunteered at Wesley Intermediate School - where he used to attend - mowing the lawns and tending the gardens.
And he was involved with the Te Whangai Trust, a charitable trust providing work and life skills training.
Sikei's brother Semisi told the Herald in December that the family wanted to create a legacy for the slain man.
They are now trying to raise funds to start their own trust in his name.
"Roskill Youth Zone was his second home," said Semisi.
