Help us give our daddy a safe space to live out his life 💚

Hairini, Tauranga

This is a call out!!

Those who know, would know my pāpā is very ill and is battling cancer, which is now move into bone cancer pretty swiftly.

And those who also know him, he stays in his shed (his little paradise he calls home)

A home where even his own kids or mokos can’t get him out of.

Now if you know this shed, you would know it is not liveable during the cold winter nights.

And seeing my dad having to walk inside up a step, then a few meters to the ramp, up the ramp and inside to use the toilet late at night straight up breaks my heart!!!

It really is hard to try tell a man who is so stubborn and stuck in his ways to make moves when all he knows is the simple life.

“Iv lived in worst he would say”

Our plan is to work with what we got.

So we are looking at getting a kit set shed and install it. Be the fastest and easiest way to have it up within our time frame.

My siblings have asked to setup a givealittle page to try raise at least 10-15k to get this whare up before the winter break hits.

I don’t know if it will work but hey let’s give it a shot!!

Even if you can’t koha a simple share would be much appreciated.
