      8 December 2019

    Morning all,

    Amber & Rob sent a thank you email they wanted shared to everyone.

    They move out of their Wellington house today and officially start their sabbatical.

    We are overwhelmed and so grateful

    Thank you for the gift that you and our family and friends have given us.We feel so loved and supported.

    It is such a phenomenal gift to have support to head into our sabbatical with options for adventure that we would not have had without your generosity.It is also true for us that the greatest gift is the love and support expressed to us here. We love our life and feel so privileged to live the way we do with the people we do. We also know it has challenges for our family - our availability to our young people can make us less able to connect to easily and it means so much to have the support and love from you all that these have been good choices.

    It's hard to express how much the love and support that we have experienced over the years keeps us going, with our friends and family not just being gracious to us when we have tricky lives but cheerleading us through the tough times and celebrating with us in the good.

    For family and friends to come together in the way you have and do this again is actually overwhelming. We just feel so privileged, so lucky, so cared for, so loved.

    Thank you.

    We are sending this through Matt and Nay because we're not sure how this has all worked and who or how to send our thanks to. So we're sending this letter with love thanks and a thousand invitations to join us on our sabbatical adventure - whether it be for a summer cider at the beach or something more far flung. We are so looking forward to sharing this season with you all.

    We want to notice as well that Matt and Nay were the instigators of creating something so extraordinarily thoughtful and generoous for us. We are so grateful for the love and support shown in this gift and we are floored by the generosity of Matt and Nay in bringing it together, in loving us in yet another way. Guys we are not surprised by your generosity and kindness - but we are overwhelmed by it. Thank you. We love you. You lift us up. We love who you are together and the way that in ways like this and others your generosity and your love can change the world for people.

    Arohanui - with great love

    Amber and Rob

    Thank you to everyone for contributing to this fund.

    The funds donated will go a long way to helping A&R enjoy their sabbatical.
