Grandparents to the Rescue

$7,470 of $6,000 goal
Given by 81 generous donors in 11 days

Funsraising effort to bring Meekahs grandparents from South Africa to assist us while Meekah goes through Chemotherapy.

Browns Bay, Auckland

Our 10 year old daughter, Meekah was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer after a tumor was removed from her spinal cord in February this year. She started chemo this week and as you can imagine, its quite a hard thing to deal with for me, my husband and her 14 year old sister Jayden. To help us during this difficult time, we would really love to bring Meekah's grandparents, Anton and Elizabeth, to come assist us with our household while we take care of Meekah, looking after Jayden and still doing our day jobs.

Use of funds

Return flights, South Aftica to New Zeland and back.

Thank you!  5 May 2024

We would just like to thank you all so very much for the donations. I am so grateful and blown away by everyone's kindness. We are looking at having my parents come to NZ in June.

Meekah will start her second chemotherapy this coming week and 30 day radiation around the third chemotherapy cycle. Having my parents here for that will be a blessing.

Wr appreciate you all so very much.

Thank you again! My heart is overflowing with gratefulness.
