I WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS SUPPORTED TE WHARE KAI for all the bags, jars, egg cartons, kai donations, home baking, bakery items, Uncle Sam’s, Zilch, Carla Halidone , Te Puna, Kura, Wahi Lose and so much more.
A big thank you to Trouble and Ann for all your koha you give every week to us. We feel blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you for all your support to Te Whare Kai.
Thank you to Corrections ❤️
Thank you for supplying us with firewood for our kaumātua.
And to you Spider, thank you for all the wood you go out and cut for our kaumātua.
Thank you to our fisherman Gary, Da Māori Dimz, and our Luke who sadly passed away not long ago. He was one of our volunteers for Te Whare Kai and would go out and try to catch as many fish as he could for our kaumātua. He will be sadly missed by us 💙❤️
And a big thank you to all my crew that help to serve our kura and puna whānau, and especially to our kaumātua. Thank you for all you do for us and thank you for jumping on this waka with me:
Karley, Wifey, Dimz, Sara, Andrew, Snooki, Badie Jr, Son, AJ, Chance — you 11 workers rock!
Love ❤️ to everyone on this waka 💙
I appreciate you all and I feel blessed to have each and every one of you in my life 💙
And lastly, a big thank you to Karlee 💙❤️
You’re always there for me — no matter what.
“Can you do this, can you do that, can you ask this one, can you email that one, can you chase up this one” — no job is too big or too small for you.
You know you love my random voice calls lol.
Thank you for all you do for Te Whare Kai xx
And thank you to Rest Village that supports us at Te Whare Kai — all of you.
