Help Ivy's family pick up their pieces of their shattered lives.

$10,820 of $100,000 goal
Given by 155 generous donors in around 3 months

Money wont take away the pain of Ivy's loss but it might allow this grieving family time to be together in their grief.

Hawke's Bay

Cyclone Gabrielle took 2 year old Ivy from this family. She was swept from her mothers arms while the family were trying to get to safety. Ella was 3 months pregnant at the time. Every day since the cyclone has been like a nightmare for Ella, Jack and Ivy's incredible big sister Imogen. Their grief is beyond overwhelming and the joy of welcoming their new son to their family was marred when they were told he had a rare heart condition. As his beautiful Daddy said, 'Our son was meant to be the only one whose heart isn't broken'. Money wont take away their pain by any stretch of the imagination but it will allow this beautiful family at the beginning of their new journey together to be together in their grief and healing without the added stress of worrying about money. It will help them to move forward in their new path and help them start over again.

Louise Parsons' involvement (page creator)

I am a friend and neighbour of the Collins family. I have watched their journey since the day of the flood and know the hard work and dedication they put in to building their perfect life. Gabrielle swept their baby away, along with the life they loved.

Use of funds

The money will be used to help the Collins family build back their life after losing their beautiful baby girl, their home and all the memories that went inside. They are having to start their journey all over again without their precious baby girl.
