At Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou, we believe that every child should feel the joy, excitement, and love that make the holidays special. This Christmas, with your help, we can make that a reality for the tamariki and whānau we support.
Remember the sheer magic of Christmas morning?
The tree overflowing with gifts, the biscuit crumbs left on Santa’s plate, the warmth of whānau, and the joy that filled every room?
Those nostalgic memories are precious. Now, as adults, many of us find joy in creating these experiences for our own tamariki, nephews, or mokopuna, knowing that these moments will become core memories for them, too.
But for many of the whānau we serve, the reality is different.
Christmas is an expensive time, and the rising cost of living has made it harder than ever for parents to give their children the traditional holiday experience. Instead of excitement, many feel a quiet heartache, knowing they can’t afford the festive tree, the special family meal, or the gifts that make Christmas morning so magical.
Together, We Can Make Christmas Bright for All Tamariki
With the support of our generous donors like you, we’ve been able to lift some of this weight off parents’ shoulders and help bring joy to tamariki who might otherwise miss out.
For families navigating hardship, your contributions make a real, tangible difference—not just in gifts but in the memories you help create.
"Seriously, had a few tears when you left… I remember when [my partner] first went away, and I was asking my mum how I’d survive without him, mentally, financially, everything. And my mum said, ‘When you're a good person, trust in the universe, and it will deliver.’ I didn’t understand what she meant until now. The voucher, the gifts, the food, but most importantly, the beautiful card you wrote to our family. Very cherished.”
Transforming a Wishlist into Reality
For the tamariki we support, Christmas wishes are simple yet deeply meaningful - a gift, a Christmas meal with their whānau, a family trip to the beach. Your donation will help transform these wishes into reality and provide hope and warmth in a difficult season for many whānau.
$50 - Provides a special Christmas gift for one tamariki
$100 - Brings kai to the table for a family Christmas meal
$200 - Covers gifts and essentials for a whānau
Other Amount - Every dollar helps make Christmas bright
Every contribution is a step toward a holiday season they’ll remember forever and a start to a positive future.
Together, we can make this Christmas a time of joy, comfort, and unforgettable memories for every tamariki.
