Stand With Meihana: Supporting Our Brave Little Warrior 💙

Tēna koutou katoa,

I te tuatahi e mihi ana ahau ki a koutou katoa mo o koutou aroha, manaakitanga, me te āwhina i tēnei wā uaua.

Firstly I'd like to thank you all for your care, generosity, and support during this difficult time .

Our brave little Meihana has been diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma in his kidneys, pancreas and blood.

Needless to say the news has hit us all very hard.

Doctors have said that Meihana will need to stay in Starship hospital for at least six months to undergo treatment, of which he began today.

The past week has been massive for Meihana & his whānau, and the following days and coming weeks even more so.

We want to wrap Meihana, his mum Allanna, his Dad Ryan, his brothers Manaaki, Mikaere, and Tamatekapua in the warmest, safest korowai of aroha right now.

We came together last night as a papakāinga at Meihana's whare to karakia and lift our spirits.

We know that Meihana is a strong little boy, so we are going to karakia, advocate for and celebrate Meihana until he come's home to us on his whenua.

In just two days we have raised $4,340 - almost half way thanks to the generous donations of you all; absolutely amazing!

If you can continue to share and donate that would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you all so much !

Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa.
