$4,411 donated

Given by 201 generous donors in 11 weeks

We know of a lovely New Plymouth family who have a terminal child and will be unable to fund the funeral so let's show them our support.

Taranaki

We know of a lovely caring special New Plymouth family going through this very hard time and needing our support. So let's all band together and send this family a virtual HUG by way of a donation.

100% of all moneys raised will go directly to assisting with funeral expenses.

Gabby's Starlit HOPE's involvement (page creator)

Gabby’s Starlit HOPE was created by Gabby Devine (13 years old), who sadly passed away in May 2015 from bone cancer.

As Gabby's parents we are honoured to carry on Gabby's legacy and this HUGS project is very special to us as having a terminal child is one of the worst things a family can go through and it is so unfair that this family has to worry about how they are going to afford the funeral. So Gabby's Starlit HOPE HUGS is all about showing them that as a community we care and support them.

About us

Gabby's Starlit HOPE - Is a charity that was started by a 13yr old Gabby Devine. Gabby experienced first hand the harsh treatment required in the battle against cancer. Her vision was to provide random acts of kindness (RAK) to children in hospital especially cancer children and their parents and families. Sadly Gabby passed away in May 2015 yet not before her charity had developed into making a difference to sick children going through their varying challenges in life. Her achievements have led her to win many awards including a National Youth award for giving back and being the Taranaki Daily News Person of the Year in 2016.
