$3,665 donated
Given by 26 generous donors since yesterday

Bringing Andrea’s community together to support Ben, Ayva and Arlo and to give back to a family whose mum gave so much to others.

Athenree, Bay Of Plenty

Andrea had a way of bringing people together. She connected people, helped people and gave so much of herself to those around her.

Following the heartbreaking loss of Andrea, we want to bring that same community together around Ben, Ayva and Arlo.

This page has been set up to help support them through an incredibly difficult time and into the future, easing some of the financial pressure and allowing Ben to focus on what matters most, their family.

Andrea spent so much of her life helping others. Now it’s our turn to rally around the people she loved most.

Every donation and every share is hugely appreciated.
