Financial assistance for accommodation for mum in ICU

Wellington

Kia Ora whanau, friends and kind-hearted people,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support during an incredibly difficult time. My mum has been in a critical condition after suffering a ruptured brain aneurysm. She was rushed by emergency plane to Wellington Hospital late Thursday night, and since arriving, she has undergone several urgent surgeries to not only repair the rupture but also to release pressure from the brain. Despite these efforts, the situation remains uncertain, and we are now in a "wait and see" period, hoping for the best.

As whanau we are doing everything we can to be there for her—spending every moment at her side, supporting her through each challenge she faces. However, this has come at a significant financial cost. With hospital stays and our need to be present 24/7, we are struggling to secure accommodation, and our funds are quickly running out.

We are asking for your help to raise funds so that we can continue to be with Mum during this crucial time. Your donations will go directly toward covering our accommodation costs, allowing us to stay close to her while she continues to fight for recovery.

We know that this is an incredibly hard time for many people, but any amount, no matter how small, will make a huge difference. Your support will mean the world to us and will provide the comfort and peace of mind that we are where we need to be, with Mum, during this uncertain time.

Thank you for your support

With love,

Shan and whanau
