Update to Support the Sherwood Family & Create Precious Memories with Alice
26 August 2025
Alice came home from hospital last Tuesday, and the transition has been overwhelming. Caring for her is 24/7, leaving the family exhausted, with no relatives in NZ to help. Maeve and Grace often wake at night worried about Mum, and even the dogs add to the workload. Alice is still recovering from a Rhino Virus caught in hospital, under the care of palliative specialists.
To mark Alice’s 100 days, the family plans a joint celebration with Maeve and Grace’s birthdays—a special moment to treasure. The reality is tough: Alice’s life will likely be short, but Steve and Harriet are determined to create lasting memories together around Auckland.
This Givealittle aims to free their time from household pressures so they can focus on Alice and the girls.
