Photo: FileA West Auckland mother is stunned after superstar songstress Lorde donated $10,000 to help her struggling family. Family of Devora Busch and Richard Barry started a Give a Little page to help the family after they faced losing their home if they could not raise more than $250,000 to fix their leaky home. The Titirangi couple have three children, one of whom, 10-year-old Rheegan, is severely autistic and among New Zealand's highest-needs children. The Give a Little page has raised more than $66,000 since it was launched in March, but received its biggest boost when Lorde, real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor, donated $10,000.
