That’s not fair, when a child’s dreams can be so simple. Aiden just dreams of joining the big kids at school, with the proper uniform.
With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes. These children are also likely to miss out on important opportunities such as camp or swimming lessons.

Daniel Hendy, the father of a 2-year-old boy, had been at the pool with his son for an hour when he noticed an 18-month-old under the water in what he described as “a freak, horrible situation”.
“...I quickly knew something was wrong, and I sprinted over,” he said.
Hendy was about 5m away when he “stormed” over to pull the child from under the lane rope.
“Staff came over, rolled him over and started trying to resuscitate him, I could feel his belly was full of water.”
The child was revived and taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Dave Stewart, head of active recreation at Auckland Council, thanks Hendy for his quick thinking and crucial response to the situation.
