The family of a toddler who almost drowned on a Waikato farm have thanked the public for all their "love and support" and donations to help his recovery.
The 2-year-old boy suffered an "unthinkable accident" on Thursday, a family friend said on a Givealittle page set up to raise funds for the family.
Hunter McGillivray is now in Pediatric Intensive Care at Starship Hospital and his condition was very serious, Karen Berger posted on the page.
Ms Berger told the New Zealand Herald she spoke to the family yesterday morning and Hunter was still in need of a lot of help with his lungs.
The family really appreciated all the love and support they have received and donations people have made, she said.
