Onwards, Upwards and Outward Bound...
Please help us to make Maia's Outward Bound dream a reality!
Waikato
Our lovely 16 year old Maia has recently been offered an amazing opportunity to take part in a 21 day prestigious program run by Outward Bound in the South Island.
Whilst her $6000 scholarship fully covers the cost of the course, we still need to find a way to cover associated travel, (fuel and flights,) whatever equipment she might need and any associated medical clearance costs.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Please help me to help Maia's dream come true!
Those of you who know Maia, already know that she's worth investing in. She's kind, driven, intelligent, empathic, quitky and funny with plenty of leadership potential and a bright, brilliant future.
Funds are incredibly tight in her sole parent household and we understand they're tight everywhere, but if you can spare even $1 or a share, it brings us $1 closer and a few viewers closer to getting her Outward Bound.
I'm thanking you in advance for your generosity and low key believe that you'll be bragging one day about how you helped Doctor or Captain or Ambassador Maia Trickey attend her very 1st Outward Bound Adventure!
With love and hope,
- Mum (Kereta)

Hi, I'm Kereta the fiercely proud mother of an incredible young woman, Maia. The only limitations holding back my daughter from meeting her goals are financial. Please help me to change that.
With gratitude,
-A hopeful mum.
Use of funds
Fuel and/or flights from Waikato or Bay of Plenty to Christchurch and back. Medical clearance costs. Basic equipment costs.

Above and Beyond...! 3 April 2025
Excellent news, family and friends, we've already managed to raise more than $1000, which I'm sure will more than adequately cover Maia's other associated Outward Bound costs.
I literally ugly cried when we saw the rapid response and outpouring of generosity from you all. It was incredibly humbling and we're so thankful for all of your love, encouragement and support! This village rocks!
We've decided to keep the fundraising page open to the original closing date I set, even though I'm very confident that we've already raised more than enough. Thanks to you!
We heard that there is another superstar future leader in the making from Tokoroa whose won herself a partially funded scholarship to be part of an Outward Bound Course in September. We want to share the love that has been so generously shown to us by gifting any excess funds to her.
Aroha mai, aroha atu...
Stay blessed,
Love Maia and Kereta x

You're the best Cake Tin! James too. Love you boo. X
She's dreaming bigger than I hoped and we love how our people are supporting her dreams. Thank you so much, my friend. We appreciate you x
Bursting is definitely the word for the level of pride and awe I have for Maia. I still shudder inwardly when I think of what I was doing at her age... definitely not getting selected for Outward Bound! We're both so grateful for your continuous love and support over the decades. Love to you both x
Thanks Deb! Appreciate you x (We also happen to know 6 different Debs. I'd love for you to DM me and tell me which one you are so that we can make sure we personally thank the right person/ people.)
