Helping a courageous boy & his whānau

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Our hearts go out to 9-year-old Boston Rangiwhetu-Paul, who is currently in Starship Hospital after being involved in a serious accident. Boston is undergoing extensive surgeries, and his journey to recovery will be long and challenging.

Boston is a vibrant and cherished member of his community. A passionate Warriors fan and a talented basketball player, he brings energy and enthusiasm to everything he does. He's known for his curious and courageous spirit, always active and engaged, whether it's on the court or within his akomanga at kura, where he is a highly valued member.

As Boston bravely battles through surgery, his whānau is by his side, facing immense emotional and financial strain. We are seeking urgent support to help alleviate the burden on Boston's family during this incredibly difficult time. Your generous contributions will assist with essential travel costs, kai (food), and other financial assistance, allowing his whānau to focus solely on Boston's recovery without the added worry of everyday expenses.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in supporting Boston and his whānau through this critical period. Let's rally around this courageous young boy and his family.
