Mana Te-Hine-Toa Pearl Castledine
Support for the Castledine whanau
Auckland
Hi all
I have put this page together on behalf of Mark, Louisa, Zion, Niva and Mana
Louisa & Mark had their world shaken early September when Louisa’s waters broke at 23 weeks, they had to move quickly and flew to NZ where she was placed into the amazing care at Waikato Hosptial. This was too early to meet Pēpi and thankfully baby girl decided to stay in a little longer.
On the 18th September Pēpi decided it was time to meet her family, she is small but she is a strong poppet. Pēpi and family will be in Waikato for a long time(105 days) and that will included some costs for the family as they will need to drive down to the Waikato, possibly accommodation and flights back to Raro to check on their businesses.
They would appreciate any koha to help with the costs of their lives having to be in NZ at this time. They appreciate all the love, prayers, gifts and messages.
Thank you,
The Castledine whanau

“With deep gratitude we want to thank every single person who gave with such a generous heart
Mark and I were blessed beyond measure in a season of such uncertainty. These funds enabled our family to spend critical time in NZ while Mana fought for her life in hospital over the past 5 months. During this time we were faced with what was the unimaginable & impossible, But your generosity meant that Mark and I could be totally present to Mana’s every need through each infection, procedure, treatment,medication, struggle, concern & decision that ultimately lead to the triumph that she is today.
Because of this we are so fortunate to have left the hospital with our miracle girl who against the stats, the odds, the circumstances is beautifully and wonderfully made. She is gods goodness in the flesh.
These photos attached are of Mana from only several hours old when we were filled with so much fear, to today where her future is destined for greatness.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts ♥️
Love Mark, Louisa, Zion, Niva & Mana
