Kia ora whanau katoa,

This page has been set up to support my sister, your sister, mother, aunty, cousin and friend Paula Johnston.

She has been on a life changing journey over the past few years. She has overcome a meth addiction, embraced a religious lifestyle and dedicated herself to improve her nutritional well being.

Heoi ano, the purpose of this korero, is to gather support and sponsorship to enable Paula to attend the NZ to Great Wall of China expedition. For this event to be successful, Paula will require our ongoing support, via donations, attendance at events, or simply sharing her cause. Any gesture will be greatly appreciated.

The current cost of this trip is at approximately $5000+.

The motivation is to support our wahine Maori and to ensure that she represents us as a whanau, a nation and purely as a role model to ourselves and our up and coming tamariki. She will prove that there is hope and that we can overcome our burdens in a positive manner.

No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa

China Dreams' involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because I feel this will unload the burden of cost to my sister Paula
