    Family and Friends,

    We are heartbroken to share that our darling boy Arley passed away yesterday afternoon. Many of you will know that Arley was admitted to hospital on 19 December and quickly transferred to Starship ICU where he battled his little heart out against Pneumococcal Meningitis. Words will never adequately articulate our devastation but we are beyond proud of Arley. We loved him so HARD, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives.

    We want to thank each and every one of you for your kind messages and support for us and Arley over the last month. We couldn’t get through this without you all.

    Please remember Arley for the beautiful, cheeky, clever, blue-eyed and smiley boy that he was.

    Time to rest your soul, our beautiful boy xxx

    💙💙💙

    Cam and Kirstin xx

    As some of you may know, Arley suffered some setbacks in his fight against the illness over the last week. However, his strength continues to amaze us, and he is still here, still battling, and still being showered with love. We are on Day 20 of ICU at Starship, and Arley is currently stable, but the road ahead remains very uncertain. Although we still don’t know what tomorrow will bring, we just wanted to thank you all for your generosity, love, thoughts, and prayers.

    Cam and KV

    Arley has been moved from Wellington to Starship Childrens Hospital in Auckland. Arley is still under sedation and the road is long with plenty of unknowns so they need our support more than ever. Specialists are currently carrying out more tests and we will continue to update you as we know more. Again, thank you for all the support so far.
