Support Ava and Her Family on Their Journey to Recovery

Darling Ava, a brave, active, and caring little girl who will soon turn 7, has recently faced an unimaginable challenge. On Boxing Day, Ava suffered a broken femur, not long after recovering from a broken foot. What was initially believed to be a straightforward fracture has uncovered a lesion that requires urgent biopsy and testing. This discovery means Ava and her family now face a journey to Starship Hospital for surgery, where she will need rods and plates to aid her recovery, with uncertainty around the further testing.

I know Sam and Lance personally and have seen firsthand the love and care they show to everyone around them. They’re the kind of people who are always there to lend a hand, and now they need ours. Ava, whom I’ve coached in Feilding Saturday Morning Rugby, is a bright, confident, and resilient young athlete. She gives her all in every game, showing sportsmanship, courage, and a spark that lights up the field.

This accident has not only been physically and emotionally devastating for Ava but has also brought uncertainty and hardship to her entire family. As they await further tests and surgery, they need our support more than ever.

Please help in any way you can—whether by donating or sharing this page. Every dollar will make a difference in supporting Ava and her family through this challenging time. Together, we can help ease the burden and give this wonderful family the strength to keep moving forward.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
