A givealittle to help alleviate some stress and struggle from our family in these incredibly tough times.
Auckland
As many of you may know, our family is going through some incredibly unfortunate and horrific times right now and they just keep piling on to us.
Rebecca Staples, our sister, is battling Cancer and taking it on like a champ and still managing to be there for her daughter, her mother, her brother and her niece all while inbetween trips to the hospital for chemo and radiation therapy.
Ann Plant our mum and the absolute backbone of our family has been there in full support through all of Rebecca's chemo and now radiation aswell as staying nights at middlemore kidz first to help myself (Mark Staples) look after our littlest battler Riley Staples go through a traumatic experience with having massive skin graft surgery from a scalding burn, making sure I'm not falling apart at the same time. While all of this has been going on our mum has just lost her dad, our grandad and is now needing our support too with trying to grieve.
This givealittle is to try raise funds to help alleviate and ease some of the stress and pain and just absolute struggle our family is going through right now. The money raised will be deposited in to Ann Plant's bank account and shared between Ann, Rebecca and Mark on behalf of Riley to help us get through this incredibly difficult time.
Family
The money will be used to help alleviate costs for parking, travel, food, clothes and everything else inbetween.
Rileys journey in Kidz first hospital. 27 October 2025
Truly humbled by the messages of love and positivity, the ward at kidz first have been hugely supportive.
A Huge thankyou to Tania Thornton from Wings of Grace Foundation for coming to see us at hospital today helping us out with a much needed food parcel (Riley won't eat the hospital food) and some beautiful gifts for Riley that made her smile.
On top of all that her and her husband also gifted our whole family with a piece of clothing from there new clothing brand, Total Awesomeness along side a donation and Riley and I are truly humbled by her kindness.
Something like this is hard to accept, but Riley deserves the world and I am greatful for everyone who is helping make it that little bit easier on her to recover with a smile still on her face. 😊
