2 1/2 year old Aoife, daughter and twin unexpectedly passed away today. A grieving family needs your help!

Canterbury

Bryan is a happy, energetic and cheeky wee man.

Aoife is a beautiful, bubbly and strong young lady.

Bryan and Aofie are twins and they are 2 1/2 years old.

They were born premature and Aoife was born with Down syndrome and health problems. Last week Aoife and her dad went to starship hospital. Today Aoife unexpectedly passed away during her recovery after getting corrective surgery. The Family has recently moved to Christchurch to be closer for Aoife’ s treatments and haven’t been in their jobs long enough to receive paid leave. This give a little page will ensure they are able to grieve for their baby without having to worry about financial issues.

Katie Waugh's involvement (page creator)

We are Bryan's teachers and we also work with Bryan's mum who is a good friend of ours. Aoife would come in to pick up Bryan and receive big cuddles and kisses from her Mum. There is no hiding the unconditional love this family shares and the joy they bring to one another is invaluable. We want to help as this family is more than deserving. Through creating this give a little page we hope to ease the stress that money can bring and ensure they are able to pay bills while providing for their beautiful boy Bryan.

Use of funds

The money raised will be given directly to the family to ensure bills, childcare, travel etc can be paid. It will also help cover the cost of the funeral and medical expenses. Even the smallest donation is greatly appreciated and will make a difference.
