    UPDATE

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity in helping the Robertson family. They are beyond grateful and moved by the love and support our community has shown them. Isla underwent testing at Starship last week with surgery due to happen on the 27th of April, however as of this morning, Olivia received a phone call from Starship saying her surgery has been moved to Wednesday the 21st April. They are currently arranging last minute flights for tomorrow morning (20th April) to be there for the MRI with surgery happening the following day. We are keeping Isla, Olivia and Lesley as well as all the Robertson family in our thoughts and prayers.

    Thank you all again so much

    Ashleigh

    Well it's been 1 week today and yet again I'm lost for words! Even more lost for words than my last update..

    Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your donations. You are all so kind and willing to help whether you know us or not. It's so overwhelming! I was planning on sitting down and messaging each person individually to say thankyou and I will get to that!

    Honestly, this has taken such a weight of my shoulders and I can't thankyou all enough. To know my girl has the support of each and every one of you it's mind-blowing.

    May you all be blessed and know that you all hold a special place in our hearts ❤️

    To my beautiful friends and family, to the people I hope to one day meet, to the friends of friends and the friends of those friends, islas school peers, past temata pupils, workmates, sitting room session friends and last but definitely not least my beautiful friend Ashleigh.

    I am absolutely lost for words at the generosity of you all, I have been sitting here trying to think of what to write. How can I possibly thankyou enough and express what this means to me and my girl?!

    To the beautiful people that say "sorry I know it's not much".. It is alot, it means alot. You took time out of your day and money out of your accounts to support us on this journey even though you may not have had that spare! What an amazing community of people we have supporting us.

    Thankyou, thankyou thankyou ❤️❤️

    I hope if you ever need help in your own journeys that you will ask.

    It's take a village ❤️

    Thankyou again
