Support for the MacDiarmid Family

Auckland

On Friday afternoon my beloved brother-in-law Arlo MacDiarmid lost his battle with cancer. Whilst Arlo had fought courageously for the last two years this was still a turn we did not see coming and has left the whole family shocked and unprepared.

This is a give a little page to help his wife Isla, and daughters Indigo and Quill. As Arlo was the sole breadwinner at the time of his passing and with his house connected to his job they are facing some upcoming challenges in the not so distant future.

Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated as they navigate through what lies ahead.

Thank you,

Thank you  4 May 2022

Thank you so much to everyone who has generously donated to my sister and her daughters- the kindness has been overwhelming and is so greatly appreciated, so thank you from me and all of our extended family!

Message from Isla-

Dear friends,

I'm so humbled by how you have shown up for my family.

Thank you.

Worry over what Indi and Quill's future would look like if he passed away kept Arlo up most nights for two years straight. He felt it was completely on his shoulders to keep us safe and happy, and I know he would be in awe if he were here to see your generosity and empathy. Thank you for giving me the means to get Indi counselling support, and for covering our bills while we transition into renting a new house, Mama rejoining the workforce, and becoming a single parent- household. I truly don't know what I would have done if you weren't here to break our fall, and I'll be grateful for the rest of my own life.

With love and appreciation,

Isla MacDiarmid
