Help Indy get home from Sri Lanka

HELLO EVERYONE.

A quick update about mums situation in Sri Lanka after a few tears and a bunch of phone calls in the last 24h we have managed to book a flight flying from Colombo via Doha and then the home stretch to Auckland.

Last night a stranger to me reached out called Charlotte Nowrojee offered to help book mum flights back and tonight mum has that plane ticket in her emails....

I want to say that this type of kindness and reaching out to strangers to help goes along way and it honestly I cannot thank you enough for you help I’m forever grateful that people like you exist.

When I posted my original post yesterday i was inundated with messages from friends of mine and friends of mums offering to help and offering to pay for her ticket home and that bought on more tears and with the help of my wonderful wife Juliet we set up a givealittle page so that people could help if they wanted too and as of about half an hour ago we have gone past the 8k needed for the ticket home.

Honestly I’m truly humbled and lost for words with the amount of kindness and compassion that strangers have shown me and my family at the moment.

Hopefully we will all be able to catch up for a drink after this lockdown/isolation is over and Mum is back on New Zealand soil.

Thank you

Matt
