To help two wonderful parents get back on their feet

Nelson / Tasman

Denise and Gareth met at church fell in love and got married a year later. A couple years later their eldest Addison was born a big baby. After Addison started school the Teachers, Denise and Gareth discovered Addison is aspergers which came with many challenges. Denise and Gareth decided to try for a sibling for Addison. After three miscarriages Miss Iria came along - their rainbow child.

Now Iria is 7. She has become very ill and has been diagnosed with Diabetes type 1. Iria has been in hospital for over a week now as Denise learns how to administer her medicine safely as Denise has her own disabilities.

Denise and Gareth ask for any help to pay for groceries, petrol and basic care for their family as money is tight as it is without this new ongoing cost for Irias care. So until they can get back on their feet any little bit will help them. These two are such beautiful people with such beautiful children.

Denise and I have been friends since we were teenagers coming up 19 years.

Use of funds

The funds will go towards groceries, petrol, meals and ongoing medical costs, such as doctor visits and insulin prescriptions. Also maybe if enough raised a nice night out for the parents and a fun day out with the kids.
