Lorraine needs our support in Canada

$415 donated
Given by 7 generous donors in 8 weeks

Lorraine is a long way from her New Zealand & Australian family support crews. She doesn't usually send out a cry for help but has now.....

Auckland

Lorraine is a survivor, strong and brave, but she is currently suffering intense strain involving finances, health & pain.

Lorraine is coming to NZ in April for my brother's wedding (flights kindly loaned to her by a good friend) but needs to save for paying the flights back, spending money (along with managing day to day until then). She is working hard but her current obstacles are overwhelming her emotionally and physically (I have been there before........). The last time she was in New Zealand was for her mother's funeral & desperately wishes to attend this happy event.

Canada is such a long way away from New Zealand & its frustrating being unable to be there for her. Creating this page is the only helpful action I could think of to hopefully relieve some of her pressure and to remind her of the love and support out there for her.

Family & friends; please contact Lorraine directly if you wish to give her direct morale support and/or to know more details.

I will start off the gifting today & will assess monthly how much more I am able to give.

Love to you all. Rita

Rita Carey's involvement (page creator)

Lorraine is my dear cousin who I am worried about, care deeply for & feel helpless to support in any other way than to create this page. She desperately needs to see her family and we need to see her.

Use of funds

Lorraine will use the funds for her NZ trip, leave from work, relieving current financial pressure & health care expenses.

Laine is usually the one helping others. If she needs help now, she needs to come home for a bit.
