Fundraising to assist with Dads medical expenses

Waikato

Kia Ora whanau. At the beginning of 2024 our Dad, Gavin Whiu, was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow cancer. He needs a bone marrow transplant within the next few months and is currently going through the testing process. As you may know, Dad lives in the US (Fort Worth, Tx) and does have medical insurance, however his insurance does not cover all of the medical costs.

While Dad does not want to reach out and ask for help, we are hoping that our friends and whanau might consider donating a few $$ towards his medical expenses. He will need to be in hospital for 3 months and cannot work during that time.

Thank you for your consideration and assistance for Dad and the whanau in both NZ and the US during this difficult time. We love you all and appreciate your help!
