Given by 14 generous donors in around 3 months

Malia has an opportunity to join the Spirit of Adventure to make this dream a reality any donation will bring her one step closer!

Whitianga, Waikato

Hi, I’m Malia, and I’ve been given an incredible opportunity to join the Spirit of Adventure – a life-changing sailing experience that will push me out of my comfort zone, teach me new skills, and help me grow as a person.

I’ve always been someone who prefers to stay in the background, but this trip will challenge me to step up, gain confidence, and become a stronger leader. It’s not just about sailing – it’s about teamwork, resilience, and personal growth. I’ll meet new people, learn to support others, and develop independence in ways I never have before.

Unfortunately, financial barriers have delayed this dream. I can’t afford the full cost on my own, and fundraising is my only option to make it happen. I need to raise $500 for the deposit to secure my space.

Any donation, big or small, will help me grab this opportunity and experience something truly transformational. I’ll be forever grateful for your support in making this happen.

Please consider donating or sharing this page. Thank you for helping me take on this adventure of a lifetime!

Any remaining funds will go towards one on one mentoring at Coro youth mentors volunteer service.
