  • Billy on the behalf of ATA 🫶

    Hey whanau its me Billy this is a message to you all from Ata,

    I just want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone who has reached out, sent their love, prayers, kind messages and koha to our whānau. ❤️

    Please know that I see all the love coming through, and I am truly overwhelmed by the amount of aroha and support we have received. It means more to me and my whānau than words can explain.

    Please don't take offence if I haven't responded to your messages. At the moment, my brain isn't functioning the way it normally would, and even the simplest things, like replying to a message, can sometimes feel really difficult and overwhelming.

    I'm taking things one day at a time, trying to navigate this new reality and allow myself the time to heal.

    But please know, your messages aren't going unnoticed, your kindness isn't going unappreciated, and your aroha is definitely being felt. ❤️

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for wrapping your love around me and my whānau during this difficult time.

    Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. ❤️

    ❤️ Health Update

    Last night was another incredibly difficult night for our sister.

    She experienced excruciating pain in her head, describing it as though her brain was on fire — the worst pain she has ever experienced.

    Something as simple as having a shower left her feeling like she had run a marathon. She was completely exhausted, with no energy left to get dressed, get her hair done or anything else.

    She managed to control her tremors by trying to trick her brain, which was a small victory, but the physical exhaustion that followed was overwhelming.

    This is the reality she is now facing. Everyday tasks that most of us take for granted have become enormous challenges.

    Can’t wait for you to be back to how you were in this picture, happy, able and full of life!

    ❤️ One day at a time, one small victory at a time.
