These funds go to continuing our wraparound services for parents like Tupou so that their children – and whole whānau - can thrive.
We checked in with Tupou to see how the family has been. Thankfully, her husband Jay was able to return home from his project with the NZ Army in Fiji to celebrate the holidays with Tupou, Tiare, Monria and little Joshie. “We’re doing well and it has been such a blessing to have Jay home again,” she told us. “Being reunited over the Christmas and holiday period meant a lot to our whānau after time spent apart. The children were over the moon to have their dad back. We’ve been enjoying simple family time - camping, extra beach days, and getting a little sun in preparation for an upcoming wedding.”
She then reflected on their journey with three children and the year ahead.
“As parents, Jay and I are doing all we can to create opportunities for our children to have a strong and successful start in life. We’re feeling grateful, refreshed, and hopeful as we step into this new season.”
