Helping Brendas Two Kids after the sudden loss of their Mum.

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Unfortunately Mum is no longer with us. Something we never saw coming. A massive 36 hours. This page was originally set up as we believed mum wou, d make it through and recover, unfortunately their we're other plans for her (see update). This page is to raise money for Brenda’s two children, Payton (21) & Max (18) as they now navigate life with Brenda as their guardian angel. Funds will go towards taking care of them, immediate costs & funeral costs.

Long story short, mum had 2 seizures yesterday (never had before) and was rushed through to CT and it was discovered that she has a brain bleed. An aneurysm has burst in her brain. She was flown to Wellington Neuro unit at by life flight at approximately 10.30pm Friday Night. Aunty Tarsh flew down on the life flight with her and I touched down in Wellington this morning. She goes into surgery today. So far they are doing a coil procedure if all goes to plan, if not, open brain surgery will happen.

She will be in Wellington hospital for the next 2 weeks atleast.

We have a massive journey ahead.

Anything helps. I know so many people want to help and now Mum is finally accepting help.

Thank you  9 November 2023

Myself and my brother Max have an insane amount of gratitude and thanks to all of you who have donated and helped us through over 6 months of hell with our beautiful Mum passing.

This has been the worst thing to ever happen to us in our lives and we are so grateful for all the love and support we have received.

We both miss Mum and wish she were here with us today.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation giving us financial relief during this hard time.

It really does take a village and we are so beyond grateful for ours.

Mum, 2023 really is all about you.
