Our heartfilled thanks
4 November 2026We are deeply touched by everyone sharing their stories online about how Dad (Mike) has helped them over the years. When we first created this Givealittle page to help him restart, I’ll be honest—I wasn’t sure how many donations we would receive. We know times are tough for so many right now, which makes your kindness mean even more.
We are completely blown away by the overwhelming love, generosity, and support from our community. Even the New Zealand Herald reached out to Dad to see how they could help, and they have now shared his story to help spread the word.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for standing by him. Your support means the world to our family.
