Bring Glendon Home ❤️

  • Update as at 11 November

      12 November 2025

    Glendon is now safely back in Auckland, New Zealand, receiving the specialised care he needs in hospital and focusing on his recovery. We are sincerely grateful for all the kindness and overwhelming level of support during this challenging time. Bringing him home was our main priority, and we are relieved this has been achieved.

    This Givealittle page was created after all other options had been exhausted at the time, and no travel insurance was available to assist with Glendon’s urgent medical evacuation. Following further enquiries, it was later discovered that some cover may be available through a credit card provider. After considerable follow-up, funding was miraculously approved to meet much of the medical evacuation and overseas hospital expenses, for which we are extremely thankful.

    Following these developments, the fundraising page was subsequently closed to any further donations.

    Your generous contributions are deeply appreciated and will go toward Glendon’s ongoing care and recovery needs in New Zealand.

    Thank you once again for all your compassion, well wishes, care, and support.

  • Thank you and next steps

      5 November 2025

    We wanted to share an important update and extend our deepest gratitude for the incredible generosity, overwhelming support, and kindness we’ve received over the past few days. Your prayers and outpouring of love has meant the world to us and has helped us get Glendon the care and support he so urgently needs.

    Glendon is coming home.

    Over the next few days, we are focusing on getting him safely back to New Zealand, and arranging the necessary care for the next steps in his recovery.

    For transparency, an update will be provided regarding the status of this Give A Little page in due course upon Glendon’s safe return to Auckland.

    We thank you for standing by us in our efforts to bring Glendon home.

    All our love,

    Georgia, and the Motufoaki family

  • Update on getting Glendon home

      4 November 2025

    Options to get Glendon home are still being explored and are proving complicated given multiple circumstances. We have been informed that medical evacuation is estimated to cost between 70,000-90,000 NZD. Increasing the give a little goal to try and gather as many funds as possible to support Glendon's safe return to NZ soil - and as soon as possible. Thank you so much for the support - it means the world.
