Timothy Tamati

Timothy’s wish was made possible by a very special volunteer Darryl Mac, who gave his time and boat to help fulfil this beautiful wish. Darryl’s capable co-skipper for the day was Bryce Imms who was more than willing to join in on the day’s big adventure!

With the help of Auckland Co-op Taxis, Timothy, daughter Alex and granddaughter Sapphire were picked up bright and early and headed off to meet their capable crew at the marina

Food fit for Poseidon, God of the Sea himself was donated by the amazing Ripe Deli, and another fantastic volunteer Mike Masfen did a great job to deliver the delicious meal to the awaiting fisherman and fisherwomen!

Darryl choose a wonderful spot between Motuhie and Waiheke and out near the Noises that delivered a dozen fish, with Sapphire reeling in the biggest catch of the day. Great work Sapphire! To top off a perfect boating day, Motuhie was also the chosen spot for a well earned swim and cool down!

Timothy had an absolutely magical day out on the water, blessed with great weather, a very spacious and comfortable boat and food both delicious and plentiful!

After Darryl returned the family safe and sound to dry land, Auckland Co-op Taxis were waiting to take them and their catch home. Timothy was then able to share a wonderful feast with his family that evening, during which we are sure there would have been some tall tales about the one that got away!

A perfect day was created for Timothy thanks to the AMAZING PEOPLE that made this wish happen. Thank you so very very much for your wholehearted kindness and generosity
