Supporting our brave 10 year old Gaiah-Rose Maikuku after life saving open heart surgery as she battles Lymphoma cancer
This fundraiser is to help ease the burden on her family so they can focus on what matters most; her healing and wellbeing of children
Kawhia, Waikato
Our hearts are with our sweet 10-year-old niece Gaiah Rose, who has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma. She is incredibly brave, but this journey has turned her family’s world upside down.
As she undergoes ongoing treatment, her parents are doing everything they can to stay by her side while also caring for their five other children. Between hospital visits, treatments, travel, time away from work, and medical bills, the financial strain has become overwhelming.
While financial support may be available through the hospital, it will not cover all expenses.

Thank you 29 January 2026
A big thank you to everyone who donated to help Gaiah-Rose and the whanau fight/through the last few weeks of her life.
Unfortunately Gaiahs body was ready to goto rest and we have had to say goodbye to our darling girl for the last time 💔
We can greatfully say that all the donations enabled the whanau to pay for funeral costs but now as we all somewhat?? Transition back into everyday life, Gaiahs whanau will need to catch up on bills and need to support the rest of their beautiful children while facing the next stage of the grieving process.
We thank everyone who has given food etc to help out, every little bit has gone a long way and will continue to do so we thank you in advance. May your generosity make room to recieve 10 fold and be blessed for your giving hearts.
Mihi nūnui kia koutou katoa, nā te Whanau Pani.
