Please help John raise the $80,000 needed to pay for his life-saving surgery.

If you are visiting this page you probably already know John but maybe you have found your way here through friends or family so here’s what you need to know.
John is one of those annoying people who are just so blimmin’ nice, you know the sort? He is kind, considerate, cheerful – how his wife puts up with him I will never know. :)
You would be hard pressed to find anyone who would say anything bad about John although I am sure his wife might have a list somewhere. Nevertheless, this kiwi guy, this all round lovely man suddenly finds himself with a brain tumour. Just like that. Boom! New York Minutes and all that – life changed direction rather rapidly. Long story short – John has had life saving surgery in Germany that has cost $80,000!
The plan now is to raise $80,000 so he doesn’t have to sell the kids when he gets back. Of course, he will if he must but it would be nice to keep the family together.
It’s gonna be hard to raise this sort of money but I just know that if we all pool our resources and think outside the square we can pull this off.
John is a friend of mine going through a really stressful time.
My hope is that family and friends will help ease the financial stress so John can focus on kicking cancer to the curb.

It is with tremendous sadness that I make this update regarding John. Unfortunately he passed away yesterday. It goes without saying that every single donation was appreciated and helped this family through a tough time. The toughest times are yet to come for Karen, Vayda & Joseph.
This page will be closed soon, that is the standard time allowed - if you did want to donate one more time, this is that time. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Come To Me
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put His arms around you,
And whisper, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our heats to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
That's lovely - thanks heaps - on behalf of Karen, Vayda & Joseph xxx
