    Two months on from that horrific night of the storm we are settled in a rental in Muriwai close to friends and family.

    Reading through the list of people who have donated is heart warming and overwhelming.

    Life is unpredictable and we are truly grateful for the donations and the heartfelt messages of love and support during this time.

    Our prayers go out to Craig and Dave who lost their lives on the night. They were doing what they loved, and helping others selflessly. They will always still be here with us in our thoughts and dreams forever x

  • As a month approaches - The wood whānau thank you

      13 March 2023

    Kia ora,

    Thank you for your donation - together you have raised almost $60k! Lets keep sharing! The funds raised (so far) will be released next week. Hannah and Eddie would like to let you know that their first priority is the purchasing of vehicles. While they had vehicle insurance, they are still having some difficulty getting paid out for Hannah's. Knowing that there is financial support coming from this funding (from all of you!) they have been reassured that buying a few new items for their rental property has been possible. Hannah will be returning to work next week and Eddie is waiting on ACC cover for his injuries (yet to be approved).

    "Being thankful is the highest form of thought. Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things".

    Hannah and Eddie are truly grateful for their lives and for your support.
