Our girl Lydia

Whananaki, Northland

We are setting up this give a little page, hoping to gather as much love and support around Lyds and our family as possible during this unexpected and incredibly difficult time.

Lydia has suffered a traumatic brain injury after a fall. She is now in a coma on life support, fighting every moment to stay with us. News like this is something no family or friend is ever prepared for.

Lydia is only 28 years old and has always lived life with energy, passion, and an adventurous spirit. She is someone who truly embraces every experience life has to offer. A lover of travel, laughter, and making memories with the people she cares about. Lydia brings light into every room she walks into, and her kindness, humor, and warmth has touched so many lives.

Right now, Lydia is in the biggest fight of her life. Despite doctors’ initial expectations, she continues to hang on and fight. Her strength is something we are all holding onto as we surround her with love, hope, and courage.

This fundraiser is to help support Lydia and her family with the medical, travel, and living costs that come with such a life-changing situation.

Acc help may be available but will not cover everything.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping Lydia in your thoughts and prayers means just as much. Your support, love, and kindness will help carry Lydia and her family through this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for standing with Lydia and supporting her in the way she needs most right now. ❤️

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
