Helping a whānau in need as they grieve the loss of their precious 5 year old girl.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Just 3 days before Christmas and in a terrible accident at Christchurch's Waltham Pool, a 5 year old child lost her life. Two of her siblings found her so you can imagine the pain and trauma they must be experiencing. As the family face the worst possible nightmare, they will need financial support to lessen the load of what they are already facing. Right on Christmas, I realise it's a tough time for all however every cent counts so please dig deep and spare even $5 to help. Thank you for your kindness.

Hi, I be the mother to this beautiful girl.

I would like to say that I appreciate everything that use have given me and my whanau, it hasn't been easy for my three children as well as myself and her father to have lost a big part of ourselves that can never be replaced.

She was so happy everyday playing with her little baby sister, crying because her brother won't share the game and then having her big sister that she followed everywhere, but once again I would like to say thank you so very much for all you support and donations
