A Way You Could Help
Hi Everyone,
We (Leona & Vanessa) are feeling completely helpless watching on in these final stages, and we know you all are too. As you know, Kath and Gary have expressed their desire to have this time as a family and no practical help is wanted. We really want them to be able to continue to focus on Emily, Jack, Charlotte, Luke and Alex without the burden of financial worry. Fundraising is the only way we can think of to offer help and support at this time.
There have been considerable efforts made to support Camp Quality and Chase After a Cure throughout Emily’s illness, two causes that will continue to be important to the Wooddins, however we feel that donations would be of most benefit to them now. This may enable them to have the option of Gary staying home from work and will contribute towards other upcoming costs.
A bank account has been opened and will be managed by Vanessa (if you want confirmation of your donation, you can email via the ‘Contact Me’ link to the right of this post). Any donation, no matter what size, will make a difference.
Please know that there is no obligation for you to donate, this request comes from us standing by and wishing there was something we could do.
Bank account details: ASB Bank
Account Number: 12-3240-0167567-00
Account Name: V M Palmer on behalf of E Wooddin
Ref: It’s up to you if you want to put a reference or if you want it to be anonymous
Swift Code: ASBBNZ2A (for overseas people). This is all you will need.

As you say, helpless is how we all truly feel, this has to be the understatement of the year. Setting up this bank account is a fantastic idea, I truly hope we can all dig deep into our pockets and help this beautiful family, let’s hope enough $$$’s can be raised in order for Gary to be at home with his family too at this so sad, but very precious time. Much love to you all xxxx

Thanks, Leona and Vanessa!
At this stage, when we have only words and they simply are not enough, it’s good to have another way of showing just how much we care for this family.
As a non-baker, the Wooddins would have to be in dire straits (food wise) if they were to depend on cakes and biscuits from well wishers…
At least this way, nappies, food, day to day essentials can be provided, and hopefully Gary gets more quality time with the beautiful women (tall and small) in his life.
Like you, I soooo wish there was more I could do.
Love and peace XXxxxxx
