Support for Parisa and Her Son Yasin

Parisa is a deeply valued member of our school whānau at Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School. As a kind, calm, and dedicated kaiawhina (teacher aide), she works closely with some of our tamariki who are most in need of support, always bringing patience, aroha, and quiet strength to her role. Beyond this, Parisa is also a trained accountant and a passionate advocate for neurodiverse ākonga.

Tragically, Parisa’s beloved husband, Mojtaba, has just passed away after suffering a heart attack. This sudden loss has left Parisa and her son Yasin facing a future of deep uncertainty.

Parisa and Yasin have no family in Aotearoa, but the care of our school community surrounds them, and they are also receiving support from the Iranian community here in Tāmaki Makaurau. Both have been important sources of strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

At a time when Parisa has always been there for others, we now have the opportunity to awhi her and offer the support she needs. We’ve created this page so our community and beyond can help ease the financial and emotional strain as she navigates this loss and rebuilds a sense of stability for herself and Yasin.

Every little bit counts, whether it’s a koha, a kind message, or simply sharing this page with others.

Let’s wrap around Parisa and Yasin with the same care and compassion Parisa shows every day.
