To celebrate Abi’s first birthday we’d love to support some of the charities that have supported us during this wild first year of Abi…
Canterbury
Hi, I’m Abi and I’ll be turning 1 on 26 April 2023. (A year since my ridiculously early arrival? Wow)
I know loads of people out there have been loving on me, rooting for me and praying over me (and Mum and Dad) as we’ve been through this massive journey. Thank you, we really appreciate every single prayer, message and thought.
Mum and Dad reckoned that some of you might be kind enough to be thinking of getting me a gift… That’s amazing! You’re amazing! But really, I don’t need much whilst I’m in hospital and Mum and Dad don’t think they’ll be able to take much stuff back from Auckland to Christchurch when we (finally) get to go home.
I’d really love you to bless some other people instead. We want to collect some money for four charities that have been awesome for us as a family. Check them out: https://tinyurl.com/Abi-Charities
Mum and Dad also wrote a (long) blurb about my first year… It’s a pretty wild story where I was in NICU for over 3 months, flown to Starship Hospital twice and spent over 5 months there (and counting), had 2 major heart surgeries (and counting) and had lots of very scary moments: https://tinyurl.com/Abi-1st-Year-Story
If you can’t give anything, that’s cool, please know that we all appreciate your prayers and love.
Big love,
Abi
(and Mum & Dad / Naomi & Andy)

Sadly donations to this page won’t get the tax credit.
Each charity has supported us this year, check out more info: https://tinyurl.com/Abi-Charities
Four charities: Ronald McDonald House, Starship Foundation, Heart Kids and The Little Miracles Trust.
THANK YOU - Donations passed on 24 May 2023
Hey everyone - thank you SO MUCH for your donations. Obviously a lot has happened with Abi in the last month (and she spent her actual birthday intubated and sedated…) so we’ve not even had a chance to say thank you individually.
We’ve just passed on the donations to the four charities. And we can certainly say that we still see the amazing work that all of them do as we have spent another month in this crazy world!
Thank you again!
Andy and Naomi
