This year was meant to be unforgettable for our Year 7&8 kids. They baked, sold raffles, stood in the rain, and watched every dollar they earned bring them closer to their dream trip to the Gold Coast. Their parents gave everything they could – some used the last money in their accounts, some gave up Christmas plans, and many quietly went without so their children wouldn’t miss out.
Then, without warning, the trip was taken away.
Months of hard work and sacrifice were dismissed in a moment. No clear explanation. Just heartbreak. Now some of our kids face a sad Christmas, with whānau who spent every spare cent left carrying the weight of a dream suddenly denied.
We aren’t giving up. A small group of parents has come together to keep fighting for our kids. We’re still fundraising every day, doing everything we possibly can – but we need help. We need a miracle to make this happen before the new school year.
If you can give even a little, you’ll help lift a huge burden from our families and give our kids back the hope and joy they’ve earned.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
