Another Big Night and Big News Post 2 of 3

WOW! You might remember the fundraiser we have been advertising on the website the past couple of weeks. It was held last night and it was a HUGE success! Local businesses donated some seriously generous prizes to auction off for our cause. Some of the items: A Sony TV, Fisher and Pakyel Fridge/Freezer, Chest Freezer, Mistibushi Air Con Unit, $500 Kiwibank Saving Account, Gym Memberships, $100 Vouchers for lots of companies, $500 voucher for Hotel du Vin, jewelery from Michael Hill and a Pandora Bracelet, $400 worth of tyres, 2 car services. I could go on forever!!!

People bidded generously and all the amazing things went for awesome amounts. AND then at the end of the evening people gave to us some of the items they won. We got a huge grocery hamper from the Aikins and a Fisher Price Dinoland for Aria from another kind lady. AND the kind organisers gave me flowers. Me! Why? Something about being an inspirational mum (not sure about that cause I am just doing what any mum would do Jodee, Sam, Natalie to name a few). I couldn’t believe it cause I should be giving them gardens of flowers for all their hard work.

My very kind friends Nola and Corina looked after Aria and Asher for us. Both of these awesome friends are moving to the South Island in the next month 🙁 Don’t know how I am going to manage without them!! Which brings me to the next big news:

We are moving! We have brought Nola and Andrew’s house in Manurewa which is bigger than ours. We are struggling in our current small 3 bedroom home with Asher needing his own room soon and Aria’s medical stuff. We amazingly sold our place within a week thanks to our awesome friend Amjad and paid no fees and got a good price. Nola and Andrew gave us a generous price for their home and my sister is moving in and taking a separate living/bedroom area so we won’t be paying very many extra $ on the mortgage.

Wow- what a loooooong post!

Thank you – our amazing friends and family who support us

Thank you – Manurewa local businesses

Thank you – Newlife Church for running an amazing night

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE – something HUGE is happening today – will post in the next couple of days to update you all.
