HUGE Fundraising News
Australasian Drilling had their annual conference this weekend in Auckland. On Saturday night they had a charity dinner and auction to raise money for KIDS Foundation who kindly nominated Aria to receive the proceeds raised on the night.
So I got a call from the GM of KIDS yesterday on Hamish’s birthday while some of our friends and family were over to say the evening raised….
$28,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀
We were so happy and stunned and emotional. Just couldn’t believe how amazing and kind these people were to us and Aria. I could post all week and not fully express how amazing this is. These people don’t know us personally but choose to fully get behind us and raise such a huge sum. WOW
Thank you so much, we are so honoured!!!

Hello there Anita, Hamish, Aria and Asher,
We were so very thrilled to have met you all last Saturday, what a beautiful family you are! So sorry that Ash wasn’t well on your return – we hope that he is well on the road to his old self again now. (I loved the cuddles)
What a fantastic message you got on Hamish’s birthday! Aria is soooo deserving of all the support offered. She is a delight.
Take care all of you, and hope today worked out ok for you with Aria’s iron supplement at Starship.
Love from us both,
Rolf and Helen.
