CRICKEY! How much can one whanau take?!?!

The Thomson family, a beautiful young family of five, has been hit with wave after wave of medical challenges that no one could ever anticipate. Many of you may be aware that Erin has endured a series of life-threatening medical crises, and now the latest of which requires urgent treatment in Melbourne. Through all of this, Erin and her husband John have remained private and humble, never asking for help. But now, this is a way we can show them our love and support!

The Thomsons are facing immense costs which now have increased significantly with the urgency required to get them relocated. These include emergency passports for the kids to flights for the entire family plus pets and the daunting expenses of relocating and setting up a new home in Australia. John, until recently, was the beloved caretaker at Maungatapu School, and Erin was always there behind the camera, donating her time to capture precious moments at school events or opening their home for 35 kids to come for a sleepover! Their generosity and contributions have left a lasting impact on the community, and now it’s our chance to give back.

We will miss them dearly, but by donating, we can help lighten their load and support them through this (yet another!) unimaginable chapter. Every little bit will go a long way in making this nightmare a bit more bearable for them. Please, if you can, give what you are able.

(If you have any ideas of other ways to support them please get in contact with Kirsty)
