Suzanne | Lansdowne, Wairarapa

“I helped my mum for a while, since she came out of hospital. Done all the housework for her, and I’m still doing it.

She couldn’t bend, when she came out of the hospital. She blacked out and she had to go for surgery and all that.

I’m kind-hearted. I’m kind to other people in church and help. She looked after my boy when my son was being born. I used to live with my parents.

I’d want to tell her I love you, you brought my child up, you brought me up, brought my brother up.

Masterton. I was born here. I had to leave Mākoura College. Got picked on all the time. They bullied me. They didn’t, yeah.”
