I'm inviting our beautiful community to show their love and support for this beautiful family who contribute so much to our community.

They are having to fly up to Auckland Liz next week for 10-12 days as sweet 5 yr old Aneirin needs to have a big old hole in his heart closed via open heart surgery.

Star ship may only fly Liz and Aneirin but she needs the whole family there to support her, plus lots of support after so there life is easeful when coming back to live in the bus

Liz describes the twins as her rainbow babies after two losses and lots of hospital time.

So when finding out there would be more hospital involvement it was heavy news.

Ari, her first son had pulmonary hypertension and Aneirin has pulmonary stenosis.

Rich has been unemployed for more than eighteen months and they've poured any excess cash into repairing flood damage, alot of the kids toys, sorting power out , or generously giving to families in Gaza!

Let's show how much we care and appreciate them, each rain drop creates an ocean of love, lets hold them in our hearts and hands

We wanted to say thank you SO much, ngā mihi nui for your love and support over the last few weeks. We are home now and settling back in to life slowly, as Aneirin needs to wait a little while longer before he can do all the five year old boys things he loves like cycling and swimming and bouncing!

He is healing well, and now has rosy cheeks we've never seen before that suit him very well 🤗 With your support (and thanks to Pixie who paid us some of your donations in advance) we were able to show Nye some of Auckland by Uber, and eat when we needed to without worrying about gathering ingredients.

Because the kids came out of the flooding worse off than we did, we are planning to purchase a nice dry wooden shed for them to play in instead of their current soggy situation.

And Nye is back to kindy next week!

Again, thank you all, your support really has carried us through 🙏🏽
