    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.
