Darsha is now a solo mum with 3 young children after losing her husband to suicide whom she met at a foster care
Auckland
Darsha and Larnce were only young when they met at a foster care.
Both having been from complex family backgrounds, they were naturally drawn to each other. It didn't take long for them to fall in love- Darsha was only 13, and Larnce was 15.
Not having grown up with present parents, they always dreamt of building their own families at a young age, and they got married when Darsha was 18 and Larnce was 21. Although their wedding may have seemed basic and simple, (getting married in their socks), it was full of love and hope.
They were soon blessed with three beautiful children-Harry, Amber and Claire. They tried their very best to be the best parents and the best family they have always aspired to be. Larnce was a hard-working builder while Darsha looked after the children at home. They would do 'family things' together, go to church and cherish the simple but precious things in life.
Unfortunately however, darkness had taken over, and Larnce sadly decided to take his own life away.
The children never got to have grandparents, and now they have lost a father. Darsha has now become a widow at age 23.
Many adjustments are to be made, and Darsha is now having to look after her three young children - Harry (5), Amber (3) and Claire (2) on her own. Things are also not easy when Darsha doesn't have a driver's licence or a vehicle.
This page has been set up in the hope to take a little bit of pressure off for the family while they are trying to re-adjust to their now changed norm. I would also like to show that she is not abandoned and that there are people that love and care for her and the family.
I have met Darsha through a mum's group and also through other church related activities. Although we are not super close, and I was just starting to get to know her, I thought this is something very little I can do to help her and her lovely family as a fellow mum.
The raised funds will be used to support their everyday living costs, food, accommodation etc.
