Fundraiser for the Diprose family.

Alan and Andrea have been married for 30 years, a wonderful warm hearted couple who have worked hard to raise their family of four children.

Andrea has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has also spread to her liver.

The cancer is inoperable, and treatment would not improve the situation.

Even though she is quite well at the moment, Andrea will require palliative care in the future and has given up her job as a teacher at Konini Primary.

The family is devastated beyond belief especially as they have now been reduced to one income. Alan was forced to take a considerable amount of time out of work to recover from a kidney transplant which is still causing day to day health issues. With no sick pay benefits and the plan being to be living on two incomes at this time, the future looks grim for Alan being able to support his wife during her palliative care.

Alan Diprose has worked as a teacher for 27 years and is well known in the community. Many young adults have been lucky enough to have spent time in his class and even more well known, his cactus studio. He has organised fundraising for World Vision and raised thousands and thousands of dollars for this organisation.

It's been a really tough last 15 years in their household with Alan's kidney failure and now Andrea's illness. This family has suffered extreme financial loss due to overwhelming health issues. This family deserves more family moments together. Let's help them get there.
