Christmas Present for Shylah and her Family
Let's raise money for my good friend who just got recently re-admitted into hospital a month from Christmas. Let's help her and her family.
Canterbury
Shylah has become a very good friend of mine through the recent couple of months. We got to know each other really well and played lots of video games and stuff through this Corona Virus stricken 2020. Shylah has a very rare and dangerous form of Vasculitis, known as Takayasu's arteritis. She has been very sick for her whole life, often going in and out of hospital. She had surgery on the 23rd Nov 2020, and lets say that it didn't go completely to plan and she has to go back to surgery tomorrow. One month from Christmas, her and her family have been struggling all throughout this tough, tough year of 2020 and this has obviously not helped. I wanted to start this GiveALittle page to try to help try give them a nice Christmas.
If you want to read more about her story and her disease feel free to read this Stuff Story here http://www.stuff.co.nz/editors-picks/8341997/Its-a-struggle-but-love-conquers-the-pain (and yes she is still very much struggling today). Her story was on the news and on the paper in around 2013, but often with things like this, 7 years later we basically have forgotten about it. You can also search her on Google, Shylah Harwood. There will be many results regarding her, thank you all.
I just want to say thank you for reading this, even if you don't donate, it means a lot to just even read this. <3 <3

I am a very good friend of hers, after hearing about her going back into hospital once again right near into Christmas I would love to just help her out by giving her a nice Christmas present.
Use of funds
The money will go straight to them, it will mostly be used on helping her and her family pay for her medical costs as most of it isn't Government funded completely. I think a small present for her on top of it will be great too.

Hey guys I just wanted to give you a quick update on the situation with my friend Shylah. In total we have raised $390 ($190 through the page and $200 directly to her). From both me and her we thank you all SO MUCH 💚💚😻😻❤❤
She told me of how life changing this is going to be as it will just help her to at least pay for medications that she has to buy and pay for the hospital bills, so once again THANK YOU!!!!
Update on her health, her second surgery went through, we are still waiting on results to see if it worked or not. She said that she is feeling a lot better, and especially since there are so many people out there who have generously donated.
On a little side note, the page is still set up to be open till the 31st Dec, so if you would like to donate you still have time. Once again, I'm not begging, just asking ;)
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE
