Please support Chaelim's children

$3,395 donated
Given by 39 generous donors in 6 weeks

Please give just a little for Chaelim's five gorgeous children, so they may not suffer any further after the loss of their mother.

Taranaki

Our beautiful niece Chaelim lost her battle with cancer last week leaving behind a grieving husband and 5 young children. Being a solo parent is hard enough, but losing a young beautiful wife is devastating. We want to alleviate some of the burden from Garus, at least for a while, by fundraising for those extra daily living essentials and hopefully a trip to Rainbow's End and/or Splash Planet for these 5 gorgeous children. (Trips that Chaelim and Garus had hoped to do later this year).

Please meet Francis-Leon, Jehiel-Arieh, Noelle-Ruth, Eliana-Sarai and Atarah-Lior. These darlings were the reason Chaelim fought so hard to live. Please honour her memory by supporting her children.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your generosity  26 July 2021

Thank you so much to all of you who have made a donation to this fundraiser. I read this weekend that the cost of living for a family of 2 parents and 2 children has gone up by $100 pw. In spite of this, you have still found it in your hearts to give to these gorgeous children.

Thinking on this news article, I wonder how much the cost of living has increased for Garus with 5 young children. It will be very tough for him. This reminds us all why we are fundraising this money. It is so that Chaelim's 5 children can adjust to the trauma of losing their mother, without the loss of small treats (or even necessities) they've been used to. The holiday to Rainbow's End and Splash Planet later this year definitely looks like a real possibility thanks to your donations. To everyone else, remember just a few dollars across several people can make a big difference.
