raw, real, and deeply emotional where i share my journey through grief, motherhood, healing, and strength while still showing up for my kids

Hawke's Bay

I’ve gone back and forward about posting this… because I don’t like people seeing me like this.

But right now, it’s not about me. It’s about my kids.

Since January 9th, when my dad passed, life has felt heavy in a way I can’t even explain. Grief sits with me every day. Some days I’m strong… other days I’m just trying to make it through.

And through all of that, I’m still a mum to five babies who need me.

Lately, things have been getting harder. Not having a car has made even the simple things feel impossible. Getting my kids to school, keeping routine, showing up the way I want to for them… it’s been a struggle.

My daughter’s attendance has been affected, and now the school is raising concerns. There’s talk of Oranga Tamariki being involved, and that honestly terrifies me.

Because I love my kids more than anything.

And I’m trying every single day, I’m trying.

I just feel like I’m falling short because I don’t have the support or resources I need right now.

So this is me, putting my pride aside and asking for help.

I’ve made a Givealittle to try and get a reliable car. Not for me but for my kids. So I can get them to school, keep them in a routine, and give them the stability they deserve.

If you can help, even just a little, I will carry that gratitude with me forever.

And if you can’t, please share that could reach someone who can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Thank you for seeing us.

Arohanui 🤍

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
