How your Donation Helps
At Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou, we walk alongside tamariki and families impacted by whānau incarceration, providing mentorship, wraparound social work, advocacy and a sense of community. The holiday season brings significant financial pressure, with rising costs often standing in the way of a truly joyful Christmas. For tamariki with a parent in prison, providing the magic of the holidays is often overshadowed by the everyday challenges they face.
With your help, we can bring back the magic of Christmas morning to tamariki and rangatahi with a parent in prison. Because every child deserves to feel the love, joy, and wonder of this special season.

Your Support Matters
“We are so grateful…especially throughout Christmas time. It helped uplift my children from our unfortunate events during that time, which helped me out and gave my kids happy moments.”
- Mum supported by Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou last Christmas
For the families we work with, the holidays can bring as much stress as joy. Parents often feel the financial strain of trying to provide small celebrations for their tamariki. For whānau at Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou, your donation is a gift of hope, reminding them they are valued and that positive futures are possible.
With your help, we can ensure that every tamariki and whānau we support feels the magic of Christmas. Your donation, big or small, creates moments of joy, comfort, and community that will be remembered for years.
