Tairea needs funding to travel to Auckland from Hastings each weekend and also accommodation costs. Tairea is also being touted for MLB Academy Camps held in Australia, Europe and America in the up coming years.

We have five children within our family which we budget responsibly to provide all basic needs.

Our financial situation has changed dramatically with our family recently becoming a single income family. We are realistic enough to know that if we can’t afford Tairea continuing his baseball dream then he will have to stop for now. However we will exhaust all avenues to help Tairea with his ongoing success.
