Ko Steve Merito ahau
You might not know that Steve loves to sing, and he'll happily serenade you! They say laughter is the best medicine, and Steve is all about that – he's always got a joke or quip up his sleeve. He spends his spare time with his friends and family and reading gripping fantasy novels by his favourite author Raymond Feist.
Steve joined the Rātā whānau because good people inspire him, and he loves learning about what they are doing in the community. He finds sharing their stories with Rātā trustees to encourage them to support their mahi is the most rewarding thing.
