Survivor Sunday, 23 June 2024

Thirtyfour people attended the wonderful afternoon at Fisher House, Highbrook in Auckland, engaging in the story told by firefighter Lia Drew, who came from Australia to share her journey as a burn survivor sustained while on the job in home town Brisbane.

Lia described the horrific circumstances she endured with an incredible and all inspiring positive outcome, as she proves burns have not determined or hindered her approach to life.

On behalf of all those who attended we wish to thank Lia for making the trip and supporting the burn community in New Zealand.

Following Lia was Ben Fraser from One Up Rehab Solutions.  Ben is always supportive, offering his advice and knowledge with great products that are offered at a discount to burn survivors on their website.

A great day was had by all, plenty of mix and mingling and warm welcomes to the newcomers.

Thank you to Fisher House for your hospitality and great hosting.

Survivor Sunday, 24 March 2024 - Introducing Troy Hall

Fabulous turn out for Troy to share his story.

With the fantastic host, Peter Gordon, at Homelands venue, 30 attendees were treated to delicious catering and the inspiring journey of burn survivor Troy.

It was particularly special to have Troy's mum Toni present, and the many new faces that shared in the afternoon.  

The Charity wishes to thank those that provided beautiful items for raffles and to those that purchased tickets on the day. 

These events have grown in numbers and the warmth is more than apparent as the smiles and conversations resonate around the room.
