Meet Warren, a former soldier who gave up his job as a truck driver to care for his granddaughter

December 12, 2019

Warren and Neveah will be having an extra special Christmas.

Warren has served our country from the Falklands to Belfast in the New Zealand Army and recently had to give up his job as a truck driver to become the legal guardian of his lovely granddaughter.

Taking on board a great responsibility, Warren is raising a happy and clever child with love and care.

ASB wanted to bring a little Christmas joy with an ASB Good as Gold - Santa Edition Award and $4000 to make this festive season special for Warren and Neveah.
