Unimaginable Child Loss 🦋

Please support this beautiful family as they navigate the tragic, heartwrenching loss of their youngest little princess.

Hawera, Taranaki

Courtney, Ryan, Lainey and family have an indescribable journey of survival ahead of them... tragically losing their sweet little girl Tilly (3 years old) from an unthinkable accident at home.

While people were celebrating the first day of a brand new year, my bestie, her husband and big sister (5 years old) were being told their baby full of sparkles and life wasn't going to make it through the 1st of January 2023.

This adored family has seen heartache and challenges over and over but the loss of a child is unimaginable pain, shock, loss, trauma and heartbreak. Not only does it hurt emotionally but financially, we should never have to consider preparing financially for our own child's funeral expenses. The couple are self employed with a small business and will be both unable to return to work for the unforseeable future so gifting a koha - donation is something their family, friends and community can do and want to do so badly!

Please join us and wrap around this family with anything and or everything we have to offer.

Forever grateful ❤️

I have had the privilege of being Courtney's bestfriend for almost 30 years! Her family is now my family.

Use of funds

The generous amounts you donate will help with funeral costs, life after and possibly a holiday retreat for them to come up for air and find the will and hope to carry on after such surmountable loss and grief.

On behalf of myself, Ryan and Tilly's big Sister Lainey, as well as our families.

We wish to say how incredibly grateful we are for you and your amazing support. We are completely lost for words on the aroha we have received.

We are lost and heartbroken, and do not know what life really looks like going forward without our precious Tilly, but the generosity of you all has helped us immensely in knowing that we have a few bills covered and that we don't need to worry too much financially for a while.

From all of us Cambie's, Crowther's, Armstrong's and Coxhead's ❤️ thank you 💖💖
