Supporting the amazing Dornbusch family following the passing of their beloved daughter and sister, Bella

Nationwide

We are creating this page to support the wonderful Dornbusch family in the most devastating time of their lives. Their beautiful youngest daughter, Bella, aged 13, had a lifelong battle with severe health issues and sadly passed away on Tuesday. Her family has been incredibly strong in the lifetime of love and support they have given Bella. The Dornbusch family are the kindest, most selfless people.

Many of us would like to help them. They are absolutely the last people to ask for help. Any funds raised will go directly to their bank account towards expenses, and to give them some breathing space to grieve and rebuild their lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

They are the bestest friends, they are like family to us and our children have grown up together.

Use of funds

Helping them with any financial pressure while they grieve and try to rebuild their lives. Hopefully enough will be raised for them to create some special memories with their daughter Rosie.

A huge thank you from the lovely Dornbusch family  24 October 2024

Kia ora everyone,

We as a family would like to thank and acknowledge everyone who is part of our incredibly caring and supportive community and would also like to extend our thanks to those of you who have written touching messages and cards with words of love and care. We are grateful to each and every one of you for supporting us through the hardest and most painful moment of our lives. Our hearts are broken and the sadness and desolation so deep. You, our friends, family and community, have wrapped around us with so much love and comfort since we lost Bella, and this has truly been a lifeline at a time where we have no words to adequately express our sorrow. Many of you have been alongside us through the years of Bella’s ill health and know that despite her tumultuous journey through life, she has made a huge impact with her smile, humour and resilience. We will never forget our beautiful little girl and are eternally grateful to you all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Rosie, Geri and Kelly
