Desparate Dad with 8 children, 6 grandchildren, daughter,19, health condition for 5 yrs, dropped wallet with $3,245 cash today, all I have.

Wellsford, Auckland

Page update: My situation, and with daughter is ongoing 1) I'm a superannuate with bottom$ Christian family, 4 boys, 4 girls, 6 grandchildren. 2) Youngest daughter (20yrs), has been dealing with serious very rare health condition last 6yrs. 5 operations, 7 admissions. Unknown cause, no cure (main reason for saving the money), & to support my other children. 3) I did the most stupid thing I've ever done, costing me all I have. 4) Spent 22/5/23 Remuera Motor Camp Auckland, in my car, Was about to head to bank to deposit $3,245 in a wallet (from things I'd sold). 5) Had to go to toilet. I stupidly put wallet with the $3,245 in my back pocket. I headed back to car form toilet, not realising wallet had fallen out of my pocket. 5) I had a lot on my mind. Daughter in hospital. 18yr old Son at the camp looking for flat starting Chef's course.. Recalled I had to finish a letter which did in camp lounge. Got back to car and realised my wallet with the $#3,245 wasn't in my pocket. 6) Put note up in camp kitchen, reported it to management. 6) I've been living in my car for last 3+ yrs to enable funds to support my sick girl (air flights/expenses, meet with specialists). I've my belongings (little value) in storage (as in photo) .7) This situation is my stupidity. Growing this family over 30 yrs, has been challenging. 6) Hoping there are people who have empathy for this all. Donation ($1) would be deeply appreciated. The larger amount is to cover the cost of this. 4) Kind regards, Graham

Use of funds

The money will be spent on my daughter's flights from Wellington to Auckland to specialists. Youngest Son (17yrs) is in a unit here, Remuera Motor camp too, coming to Auckland to starting a 3 year cooking course, flat for him, and support my other children.

Hi Min-Chu. 1) Words fail me to describe my appreciation of your extremely generous donation. You are 1 in a million. 2) This will enable me to get compresion stockings for daughter GRacey, she has been waiting for a very log time for. They are specifically for her left leg which swells for some reason, raises her CPR level to a threat of a dangerous sepsis leve;, which has happened a couple of times. They have to be specially constructed for the leg to ensure the pressure doesn't spread the infection elsewhere. She needs 2 (one to use, one to wash), and they are over $200 each. Gracey's compression stockings will always have the memory that Min-chu enabled them. I will find out from Givealitte whether on can update donors, if so, of course will do so. May you be blessed!. Kindest of regards, Graham
