Laisa Maraia Waka was walking home from the bus stop when she was killed on Saturday afternoon.
A Givealittle page set up to support Waka's family has already had more than 2-thousand dollars in donations.
Page creator Sanaila Raleqe says Waka's partner is a prominent member of the Moraia Fijian Methodist Parish in Christchurch.
