Help us secure the safe and happy life for Monty and Louis that their mother wanted
Please help us to get the boys where they want to be and where their mother would have wanted them to be.
Bay of Plenty
Just over 1 month ago my younger sister Lily Arabin was tragically killed in a car accident leaving behind her 2 sons aged 8yrs and 5yrs.
Lily was one of kind and loved her two boys with everything she had, she struggled for a long time to fit into this harsh world we live in but she always had time for others, was generous and incredibly smart with an amazing artistic talent.
As another family member has been granted current interim guardian despite their suitability, myself and Grace are fighting for guardianship in Family Law Court. All funds raised here will go towards the Legal fees associated with this. These fees are already in excess of $7000, ensuring that the boys can relocate to be with the family members that their mother would have wanted them to be with.

Lily was my younger sister, she trusted me to raise her son's when she wasn't able to and I have dedicated the last 8yrs to ensuring that both boys were safe and loved.
