Urgent Help Needed for My Mother-in-Law's Life-Saving Treatment
Dear Friends and Family,
I'm reaching out with a heavy heart, seeking your help and support during a difficult time. My mother-in-law suffered a severe heart attack on December 17th and has been on a ventilator ever since, fighting for her life.
She had traveled to New Zealand to care for my wife during her pregnancy, but unfortunately, her pre-existing diabetes condition made her ineligible for health insurance. As her visa sponsor, I'm now faced with the daunting task of covering her medical expenses.
As a laborer and the sole breadwinner for my family, I'm already struggling to make ends meet. My wife is a full-time mom to our two young children (2 years and 3 months old), and her ankle injury has prevented her from working. I also live with diabetes and high blood pressure, making our financial situation even more challenging.
In this desperate hour, I'm appealing to your kindness and generosity. Any donation, big or small, will help me cover my mother-in-law's hospital bills and give her a chance to recover.
Please consider supporting us during this difficult time. Your contribution will be a beacon of hope for our family.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
Sincerely,
Ishan Dhammi

A Final Thank you and a Last Request 15 November 2025
*A Final Thank You and a Last Request*
Kia ora, dear friends, family, and compassionate souls,
We are overwhelmed with gratitude to share that, after months of treatment, our beloved mother‑in‑law has finally returned home. She is still recovering and in need of further treatment. Your prayers, messages, and generous donations have been the bright light that carried us through this difficult chapter.
When we first opened this fundraiser, the total medical bill was $120,000. Thanks to your incredible support, combined with our life savings and the sale of our home in India, *we are still struggling to pay $36,000*. We are now closing the GiveLittle page, but we need a little more to clear the remaining balance.
If you can spare even a small contribution, it will make a huge difference as we work to settle the final expenses. Every dollar brings us closer to being completely debt‑free and able to focus on what truly matters—our family’s health and happiness.
Even a $5 or $10 donation helps!_
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us, sharing our story, and helping us reach this milestone. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
With endless gratitude,
Ishan Dhammi & Family
