    At 7:49 pm on the 12/8/21, 9 days overdue, baby Tommy has arrived, weighing about 7.9 pounds. Baby and mum doing well.

    I can safely say that Tyler and Amy are smitten and so happy to have him here. Thanks to all your donations life is going to be that little bit more easier for them.

    Today is the last day for donations. To everyone who has donated, thank you. It will make a big difference in Amy's and Tyler's life as they prepare for the imminent arrival of their baby, Tommy who is due in a few days.

    Tyler and Amy are so grateful for all the donations they have received, not just on this page, but also from the community in the form of baby gear and household items.

    This trying time has been made a little bit easier thanks to you all. x

  • Stuff article - Interview with Tyler and Amy

    Hi everyone,

    Published today on Stuff.co.nz is an article featuring Tyler and Amy. It's heartbreaking seeing the mess they're cleaning up and hearing about what they've lost.

    You can see the article and associated video here:

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300362868/weve-got-nothing-left-pregnant-westport-couple-flooded-out-and-nowhere-to-go?fbclid=IwAR3-J01Mz8qxahLtUOrpwY4ruSc8q_jOfRw6LnEHHtRXve55r5eoFdhsR10

    Their house has officially been red-stickered which means there's no going back to it. Hopefully they'll be able to find a warm, dry place to move to and bring baby Tommy home to when he is born.

    A massive thank you to everyone who have donated so far. Please share this campaign on your social media if you're able to.

    Many thanks

    Rebecca

  • Update and message from Tyler and Amy

      20 July 2021

    The water has receded and they have been back to the house again today. They were able to salvage some things like clothes. They described seeing all that was ruined as guttering.

    Amy and Tyler asked me to share the following:

    "Thank you again, we are so very thankful and grateful and blessed by the kindness and generosity. We are so overwhelmed by the donations ❤"
