Elize West, 14 yrs, has leukemia and needs your support to beat it. Any funds not needed will be donated to Starship.

Auckland

Elize West is a 14 year old student at Whangaparaoa College. Unfortunately Elize has recently been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Elize’s doctors and family are positive about the treatment she is undergoing, but are in need of some support please. Elize’s mum, Traci, works at Whangaparaoa College. Traci has had to take time off work, and will need to take off more time. Elize is now losing her hair from chemotherapy and would really like to get a wig. As you can imagine, the family are struggling financially as well as emotionally and could use some help to buy a wig and other items to make Elize’s struggle a little less, and to help make their Christmas a little more special. Any funds donated that are not needed by Elize and her family will be donated to Starship Hospital. Please SHARE this with anyone you think would like to assist.

Use of funds

Funds will be used for a wig and other items to help Elize's recovery journey more comfortable and possibly for treatment not funded. Also to financially assist the family over the Christmas period. Any funds not needed will be donated to Starship.
