Supporting The Aunties Whānau to have a Christmas filled with joy and love.

Auckland

The Aunties supports 28 women, their 76 children, and 65 grandchildren to have a joy-filled Christmas and holiday season.

We can only do this through your support. This year more than ever these families need our help and support to continue thriving and healing.

An excerpt from our Impact Report by Sonia Yoshioka Braid

Many of the Aunties Whānau mentioned how much they appreciate the support they receive for special occasions like birthdays, Easter, and Christmas. They are all very clear that, left to their own devices, they would not be able to give their family presents or celebrate Christmas because they just don’t have the money to spare. In the past they found it depressing and embarrassing that they couldn’t provide something for their families or themselves when the occasion arose.

My life has changed in positive ways since being a part of the aunties whanau. I have overcome many issues with their love and kindness. I have been given xmas and easter presents for my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have never been able to afford to buy them presents.

The Aunties have helped with Easter and Christmas presents and provided me and my family with the opportunity to have a holiday together for the first time.

The biggest blessing I have received is to see the happy expression on my mokos’ faces when it came to birthdays, Easter, and Christmas.

The food vouchers, Prezzy cards, and gifts at Easter and Christmas really helped us so much.
