Haira Abbott was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in November 2020 and would love to fulfill his bucket list while he is still here.

Hawke's Bay

In November 2020 my papa was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. The doctors have said there is nothing else they can offer and has been fighting ever since.

On multiple occasions I have fundraised via Cheaper Photographer Packages. However the speed at which I'm going isn't enough to fund his Bucket List so we as a family are reaching out to strangers and loved ones for help.

We are hoping to use the funds fundraised on all the things dad would like to do and experience while he is still here. He is a co-owner of One Voice Community Services and has helped many grieving men in Hawkes Bay after running a men's group from his own home. Along with hosted multiple Christmas Events for our whanau in need, even when in pain from his cancer. He is not one to ask for anything but dreams big in silence. I would love for him to experience everything his heart desires without limitation.
