Kia ora everyone 🌈
My name is Mikayla, I’m 6 years old, and I’m so proud to be a finalist in Little Miss & Mister Aotearoa New Zealand 2026 👑✨
This journey is special to me because it’s not just about having fun—it’s about making a difference, spreading kindness, and helping other kids 💖
🌟 My Purpose
I want to use my voice (even though I’m little!) to help children across New Zealand 🌈
I’m passionate about supporting KidsCan ❤️ because every child deserves to feel warm, have food, and be happy at school 💕
💫 Making an Impact
60% of my pageant score comes from community and charity work 💖
I’m proud to raise awareness and support Kiwi kids in need 🌈✨
🏃♀️ My Fundraising Journey
✨ Every child deserves a million dreams ✨
I organized a “Flip Flops Fun Run” 👣 with my friends, full of:
😊 Fun & laughter
💖 Kindness & teamwork
🌈 Giving back
Note: Due to an unexpected 2-day storm leading up to the event 🌧️, some of us wore sneakers instead—but the fun, spirit, and kindness still shined through! 👟💖
