Across New Zealand, beach chairs sit untouched, swings drift without a child to steady them, and craft tables miss the little artists who should be there.
Many families are facing a Christmas in hospital, like six-year-old Emily, spending her third Christmas in Starship as she bravely lives with a rare, life-threatening condition; toddler Briar, recovering from delicate spinal surgery that saved her ability to walk; baby Keaki, who has spent nearly all his nine months fighting to breathe; and sixteen- year-old Maya, managing severe epilepsy while still finding joy in study, rowing, music, and family traditions.
This Christmas, help fill the empty chair. Donate today at GiveToStarship.org.nz
A project we were proud to give our time to.
