We’re absolutely blown away 🇳🇿❤️
I’ve been trying to find the right words to share this, but honestly there just aren’t enough. How do you truly say thank you for something like this? How do you put into words the way this has made us feel?
We are shocked, blessed, and completely overwhelmed by New Zealand’s kindness, support, and love. Emmett’s incredible haircut fundraiser for Bodhi and Amelia has raised over $33,000– something we never could have even imagined.
Because of all of you, for the first time in 8 years, we are officially debt free. That alone is life-changing. We’re also hoping to take the kids away for a little weekend at some stage – something we’ve never been able to do. Just to breathe, reflect, and reset together as a family. That means more than you will ever know.
To every single person who donated, shared, or sent such kind, encouraging messages – thank you. Truly. From the deepest part of our hearts. Even saying "thank you" feels so small compared to what you’ve given us, but please know how much it means.
To Emmett – you’re such an incredible, big-hearted young man. And to your amazing mum Kylee Lawrence – thank you for raising someone so special and for standing beside us with so much love.
And to 7 Sharp thank you for shining a light on this beautiful act of kindness and helping our families share it with everyone.
We will never forget this. We’re still in awe. ❤️
Lots of love
The Neil family xx
