Our final update - and a thank you.
9 May 2026
To every family member, friend, acquaintance, and complete stranger who donated to our son’s Givealittle page during the hardest chapter of our lives, thank you will never feel like enough.
When our boy was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, our world stopped. The fear, uncertainty, hospital stays, treatments, and emotional exhaustion were overwhelming, but your kindness carried us through moments we truly did not think we could survive.
Every donation, message, share, prayer, cuddle, and check in reminded us that we were never fighting this battle alone. You gave us hope on the darkest days, lifted financial pressure from our shoulders, and allowed us to focus fully on loving and supporting our son through treatment.
Because of the generosity, compassion, and support shown by so many people, we felt surrounded by strength even when we felt completely broken. Fast forward to today, our beautiful boy is officially in remission and has rung the bell.
Hearing that bell was the most emotional, powerful, and unforgettable moment of our lives. It represents every needle, every tear, every sleepless night, every ounce of courage, and every single person who stood beside us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping our son get here. We will never forget it. Your kindness has forever changed our family, and we hope you know how deeply loved and appreciated you all truly are.
E kore rawa te mihi e mutu ki a koe
The gratitude towards you will never end.
