Supporting Ari and her family as they face an incredibly difficult time at Starship Hospital.

Te Awamutu, Waikato

Ari is a much-loved 12-year-old daughter who has faced an incredibly difficult medical journey since birth. Despite every challenge she has encountered, she has continued to show remarkable strength and resilience.

Her life changed dramatically after what began as a virus. Since then, , Ari experienced two episodes of respiratory failure. She later suffered a cardiac arrest and required over 20 minutes of CPR before her heartbeat was restored.An MRI has shown areas of brain damage, and she is currently on life support as we continue to pray every day that she will turn this corner.

Her parents, Fran and Rayce, have remained by Ari’s bedside at Starship Hospital day and night, holding onto hope and praying for a miracle. Alongside them are Ari’s younger siblings, aged 8 and 10,as the family stays together during this unimaginable time.

Please donate if you can, and if you’re unable to donate, sharing this post can make a huge difference. Every share helps us reach more people and gives Ari’s family more support during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. ❤️
