Our page helps grieving parents move through loss and disability by providing free portraits and memorabilia services along with art therapy

Northland

In 2014 we lost our son Ezra Tapp in a horrific accident and from his passing we have been gifted the strength to help other families around New Zealand living with their grief and or disability.

I paint and donate angel portraits 100% free to families that have lost children or had a stillborn babies, often restoring colour or removing tubes or placing the child in the parents arms so these families have an image they can hang on their wall which is beautiful and they can share without fear of judgement or censoring.

I paint an average of 50 children a year putting in my heart, soul and personal funds into each piece not to mention my time and I also create custom xmas decorations and angel memorabilia like halos free of charge for the families.

I rely completely on donations to cover this service, the costs and postage and every donation is appreciated.

Recently I have had an influx of orders after an amazing response to an online video so my only option is to go public asking for help as I can no longer sustain these costs on my own.

I run the New Zealand loss of a child support page as well as the angel memorabilia pages and Angel portraits New Zealand offering free services to bereaved families as part of this service connecting them with free counseling and online support.

My goal is to expand our premises as we are out of space in my tiny office and I want to open art classes focusing on grief therapy... memorabilia and special needs education for children.

I am a trained and qualified teacher with special needs experience and I want to open this grief and arts therapy center in Whangarei Northland but we need your help raising funds so we can help more people deal with grief and loss and healing.

The goal is $10,000 to get this project up and running and with that we would be able to reach out to more people and help them deal with the hardest loss of all and live creatively through their disability or grief... so please if you can donate even just a little... every donation counts and helps us help others.

We do so much for free.... please if you can help give a little back it would change so many lives.
