I want to surprise my God brothers and spend a week with them creating some memories before starting University.

Auckland

Six years ago, I met a family who changed my life. The family consisted of a Mom and a Dad and 2 boys. Growing up in a single parent family as an only child practically made me a Gilmore Girl so when these people came into my life I found that I was overwhelmingly surrounded by love and support in a way I had never known. The family became like my own and I was at theirs more than I was at my own home. The two boys became like my brothers, one a year younger than me and one four years younger. This family changed my life and helped me through so much. Unfortunately, the family decided to move back to Australia where they had come from. When they left, we were all heart broken, I have never been so hurt and found it so hard to let someone go. I have now not seen them for three years and while we still love each other and we still talk it isn't the same. Distance makes it hard to maintain a deep connection and during a long FaceTime call I realised how much I wanted to see him and how much I miss him. I have devised a plan for me to fly over in the January holidays before I start university next year and surprise the boys and spend a week with them. The parents are all on board with it. Our plan is to fly me from New Zealand to Gold Coast and them from Sydney to Gold Coast, their parents will tell them to go to a certain part of the airport where I will already be waiting for them. I would love any support and any contribution is of help to me and would be greatly appreciated.
