Help Baby Archie and His Whānau Through This Difficult Time

Little Archie had a tough start to life, and now he and his whānau need your support.

Born prematurely at just 34 weeks due to growth restrictions in the womb, Archie arrived weighing a tiny 1.4kg. After spending five weeks in NICU, his parents and big sister, Lily (3.5), were overjoyed to finally bring him home.

But their journey took a heartbreaking turn. After just a couple of weeks at home, Archie became unwell and was hospitalised. Though he was discharged after a few days, he soon deteriorated rapidly and had to be rushed back to ED, where he was resuscitated before being moved to intensive care.

Now, as Archie fights to recover, his parents are doing everything they can to be by his side. But with Dad out of leave and the family relying on a single income, they are facing mounting financial stress.

We are reaching out for support to help cover everyday expenses while Archie recovers and gets back home to his loving whānau. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference and be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
