Shalina & Ratai’s family update
23 February 2023
Kia ora friends & family.
Aotearoa has obviously had a rough month. It was a bit tough to continue asking for more support for my sisters family when there were so many affected by the recent weather events.
An update on Shalina’s situation: We have been so overwhelmed by the amazing donations to this givealittle page and also to the many many donations of support of food, bedding, clothing and household items. Shalina’s family have been set up for last several weeks staying at a hotel in Mangere. The kids have yet to go back to school due to being so far away in their current location.
Good news, Shalina and her family have found their new home in Avondale and are beginning the process of moving in. The pic is a photo of some of the kids playing in their new driveway for the first time.
There’s still a long way to go to get Shalina and her family back on their feet before baby comes.
So I would like to do one more big push before this give a little page ends in this final week. Anything and everything helps. If you could please donate what you can or at least re share on social medias, I would be very appreciative of your efforts.
Thank you to everyone who’s donated, supported, direct messaged, added a helping hand, ect. None of it goes unnoticed. You are all amazing, thank you so so much!
