Simone's 30th Birthday Surprise!

Auckland

Hey Fams & Friends!

Our beautiful Simone is turning the big 3 0 in May this year & her partner James is needing everyone's help to make it super special!

For those of you who don't know Simone, we've been friends for over 15 years. She is one of those rare people you come across in life who truly make the world a better place. She has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met before. Shes funny, generous, incredibly hard working (Mumma to 5 amazing kids, a partner, a full time worker who recently graduated from Uni), she's always willing to help even if she has no connection to the cause and she'll do it all with a huge smile on her face. Being so busy supporting her family, Simone rarely has time for herself and this would be a great opportunity for her partner James to spoil her a bit!

Message from her partner James:

'Hey guys first off I would like to just say a big Thank you to everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to help out with this great cause. So just to give you a little insight into why this page is being set up I was hoping to try raise enough money to take My lovely other half away on a cruise so she would be able to tick it off her bucket list for her big 30th, and if you know her as well as I do you know she is the most deserving person. She gives 110% to everything she does and never complains about anything. She is hands down the most loving person that you will ever meet and has a heart of gold that exudes nothing but happiness when your around her. She is the loving mother to our 5 beautiful kids that would sacrifice her own joy just to make sure they are happy and taken care off. When I first met her 5 years ago it was seriously love at first sight. I could not believe that someone as beautiful as her would give me the time of day let alone notice me. As soon as she smiled at me she had me hook, line and sinker. The world had stopped for a split second and it felt like my heart no longer was beating in my chest, but was now in my hand ready to hand over to the love of my life. As we spent the rest of the night laughing and giggling I swore on that night I would try to the best of my abilities to keep her smiling, and that the same smile that lit up the night sky when we met would never leave her face.

So now you know I would do anything to keep her smiling even if it means swallowing my pride and asking family and friends for help cos as you know the life of a student isn’t financially profitable so that’s why I am asking if yous could help me to make her dream a reality and give her the best present she could ask for'.

Isn't he cute? Let's help him surprise our sister/daughter/niece/cousin/friend cause no doubt this woman deserves it! We've set up a Givealittle page for the fundraising so Simone can't see the donations in the family bank account (Sneaky!)

Please give what you can!

Friends & Family, don't forget to keep this hush hush. If you have questions please contact me or Coco Pakieto, not James. We don't want Monie finding out before her surprise bash!

Thanks Everyone! ❤
