Amber-Rose and family need help to battle Leukemia
Help the McKernan family as they support Amber-Rose through this heart breaking diagnosis of Leukemia.
Auckland
Amber-Rose was born on the 21 March 2024 and she is a beautiful, bright and bubbly little girl who was the perfect addition to Chris, Vannessa and sister Ava little family. She is loved and adored by all members of her family. Sadly on the 31st March 2025 Amber-Rose was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, this came as a devastating shock to the family.
For the last four months she has already had to undergo surgeries and four cycles of chemotherapy. Amber-Rose is fighting hard and Chris and Vannessa are doing everything they can to support and cherish her.
Sadly through this process, Chris has had to leave his job, as Amber-Rose has needed to spend so much of this period of time in Hospital with a parent. This has added significant financial pressures to this family during this incredibly difficult time. This family needs help right now to make sure that they can pay their bills. They need this help, to have the time to be there to love and support Amber-Rose through her journey.
Please if you can, help the McKernan family through this difficult time. Anything you have to give would be greatly appreciated.

Amber-Rose is my beautiful one year old niece and goddaughter. Thank you for anything you can give to support my brother and his family through this journey.
Use of funds
The majority of this money will be spent on day to day needs, like mortgage, bills and food. This would dramatically ease the financial pressures, allowing Chris and Vanessa to focus on Amber-Roses battle with Leukemia.
