Helping Little Luke grow stronger for the heart surgery he needs, with his family by his side.
Whakatane, Bay Of Plenty
Meet Luke – a tiny fighter with a big heart battle ahead.
Helping Luke grow stronger for heart surgery, with his family by his side.
For now, doctors need him to grow bigger and stronger before they can operate, and his specialist care is far from home.
His parents and grandma are staying by his side while also trying to keep life connected for Luke’s big brother.
We’re raising funds to help ease the financial pressure of travel, time away from work, and daily living costs so the family can focus on what matters most — helping Luke grow strong enough for surgery.
Every little bit of support helps this family stay together through Luke’s journey.
It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful for every bit of support, even the smallest contribution helps Luke’s family stay by his side while he grows stronger for his surgery.
Thank you for being part of Little Luke’s Big Fight,
and for the incredible support from the teams at Tauranga and Whakatāne SCBU, the Heart Kids Foundation, Starship Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and the helicopter team.
Your kindness means the world to Luke and his family. ❤️
I’m Luke’s aunty—Nicky, his mom, is my sister—and I’m helping to share his story and support the family during this journey.
