Please read to understand our story.

My partner and I have been engaged since 2017, we were due to be married in 2019. We had everything planned, but we had to cancel due to financial issues. We are located in the South Island and my family are situated in Auckland, they had plans to travel down and at that time were able to do so, but sadly the wedding didn't go ahead.

We are now getting married in 8 weeks, but my family's health has taken for the worse, leaving them all unable to work and living off a very small income. They are using everything they have for their flights, but cannot afford the accommodation.

My Poppa had been diagnosed with Dementia, he is in a very bad way. His wife, (Nana) is undergoing surgery on her leg end of October, they survive off pension income.

Three of my Aunties are all facing health problems, one, with an upcoming surgery on her Goul bladder, another with an auto-immune disease, and another with Fibromyalgia. If they come down they will have nowhere to stay, our home is already going to be filled up with other families, so they are needing rooms at our venue, the only problem is it is an exclusive booking, so every room must be paid for. If we do not get the funds. We will have to cancel our wedding, and if this is the case, we will lose all our money for our other costs.

I am unable to pay for their accommodation myself, as I am still paying off other wedding expenses. Your donation would be very appreciated and put to a good cause.

Use of funds

The money will be used to pay for their travel and accommodation.

If we don't manage to raise enough to get everyone down, funds will be put towards some accommodation or live stream equipment so they can tune in.
