From one family to another - supporting the Chadwick girls

A Community Call to Care

As a fellow family, our hearts go out to the Chadwick family.

Penny, Kamryn, and Keraleigh have just lost their beloved mum, Kellie – a devoted mother and wife to Craig – after a courageous battle with illness. Kellie fought long and hard, and now her loved ones are left to face life without her strength, love, and daily care.

A local family on the Hibiscus Coast. Craig serves the community through his work with the NZ Police SCU, and their daughters are deeply rooted in the local community. Penny and Kamryn attend Red Beach School and Whangaparāoa College, and are part of the Crave Athletics family– where many of us know them through cheerleading, friendship, and shared community.

Now it’s our turn to surround them with care.

We’re coming together not just as friends, but as parents, neighbours, classmates, and teammates – as people who understand how much it takes to raise and support a young family. These girls now need all of us to rally around them.

This fund will help the Chadwick family with immediate future expenses and other practical support to help at such a difficult time, and will show that we’ve got their backs.

If you can give – even a little – it means the world. A little can go a long way. And if you're not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this message. Every act of kindness makes a difference.

Let’s come together – family to family – to help ease their burden and remind them they are not alone.

Thanks for giving from the heart
