Brave Ella's battle
Please support little Ella, who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia.
Auckland
Beautiful Ella, who is only 3 years old has recently been diagnosed and is currently battling an aggressive form of Leukemia, T-Cel ALL. She has widespread cancer, which has reached her liver and spleen with traces of it in her spine.
Thankfully, our little fighter, Ella, is responding well to treatment so far. She has recently been transferred from ICU to Oncology, as she has now come out of phase 1: critical stage. This is a big milestone for her family but there is still a long road ahead. Ella is now going to be in the intensive treatment stage of chemo which will last approximately 9 months, depending on how she responds. It's going to be life changing for Ella and for her family. They have a big journey ahead of them, with both parents having to take a significant amount of time away from work while they focus on fighting this battle with Ella.
Let's reach out and help this precious family during this traumatic time.

First of all, a massive thank you for the support and generous donations. I know Deb and Bay have been truly overwhelmed and are so very, very grateful.
These last few months have been a real battle and Ella has continued to amaze everyone around her with her courage and fighting spirit. Unfortunately however, after months of the most intensive chemo, lumbar punctures with spinal chemo under GA, an ongoing bilateral bells palsy episode as a side effect from Nelarabine, transfusions, hosptial admissions and 10 ED admissions, their beautiful girl has not reached remission that they had so very much hoped for. They truly believed she was in remission weeks ago as she fluttered around the oncology clinic and is often told by the nurses, "you look too well to be here Ella..go home 😊"
Fortunately they were all tested a few weeks ago for their tissue typing and Nina is a 100% perfect match for her big sister. They were told they only had a 25% chance.
Now their journey takes a different twist and is about to get a whole lot more intense as they prepare Ella's body for a bone marrow transplant.
These next few weeks will see them in and out of hospital and then Deb will be in hospital solidly for 6-7 weeks during the bone marrow transplant.
Please keep this precious family in your prayers and thoughts as they face this next phase in their journey. Again, any amount you can give to help ease the financial strain at this time I know will be so greatly appreciated. Much love and a very sincere thank you xx
