Annabelle's Legacy ❤

Our beloved 13-year-old daughter Annabelle Daza died in September 2024. In her final weeks, she reached out again and again for help — but the systems meant to protect her failed. Crisis helplines did not escalate her serious disclosures. Emergency services withdrew when she showed distress. Schools dismissed the concerns of her worried friends. Every time she asked for help, she was let down.

We are determined to fight for the changes that could have saved her life and will protect other tamariki. Together with MPs, Mana Mokopuna - Children's Commissioner, Mitey, and media we are building Annabelle's Legacy - a system that can truly work for vulnerable children, young people, and their families.

We are sharing Annabelle's funeral service for those who knew and loved her, and for all who are supporting our kaupapa. It captures the essence of our extraordinary girl - her creativity, her gentle spirit, and the profound impact she had on everyone lucky enough to know her.

Donations will support legal representation at the coroner's inquest and ongoing advocacy work to create the systemic changes that will protect other vulnerable tamariki - so that no other whānau must endure what we have.

Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,

Zoë and Miguel Daza
