Whanau O Matika-Pokaia

As a mother & whanau you desire the day you welcome your new born baby into this world and bring them home to settle in and enjoy the new ambience in the whare (home).

My sister & brother have done so twice but unfortunately they weren't so lucky the third time round.

Our Beautiful boy

Te Ariki Mai Ranginui

BORN: 26/03/18 WEIGHING: 5.8pound

Decided his time to shine was going to be 8 weeks earlier than anticipated. He is progressing very well every single day.

With everyday passing by, it becomes one day closer to bringing our baby home however I do see and hear the hurt in my sister's eyes and voice everytime she leaves her baby, as life still continues.

There have been many challenges set against this little whanau but there is nothing that can compare to this and I'm putting it out there in the hopes I can help with something they don't need to be worrying about at the moment.

My sister and her family are currently residing in huntly and have travelled each day to be with their baby, we don't have a time frame on when babies out yet so we are expecting him to be out May 16th (His Due Date)

The hours and money spent on travelling will become exhausted and that's what all donations will go on as well as unexpected accommodation costs for her and their family.
