Help Ben #2

$6,200 of $200,000 goal
Given by 72 generous donors in around 5 months

Without the money for this medicine my husband won't make it past a few months. Please help give him a chance at life.

Auckland

We are forever grateful to the donors of the first page but here again we are calling out for help!!

My husband is loosing the battle against brain cancer and has been given a few months to live.

At our last doctors visit the doctor told us that we need to have the money for avastin in FULL before ben starts because if the drug continues to work the way it's supposed to we need to be able to fund the drug, every dose without stopping.

The quote given for the drug itself was 80,000 how ever because we would be going private with no insurance now every cost would be ours, to use the hospital equipment, specialist consultations, scans, side medications all adding up to tens of thousands of dollars.

In the hope that this drug adds a couple more years to Bens life we're looking at medical expenses of around 200,000. I know this is a huge amount and a huge ask but if everyone came together and gave a little it is doable.

With the clock ticking and ben slipping away more and more each week we are needing him to get on this medication as soon as possible.

So if you can, and you are able, please help give this man a chance at life and a little more time with his family, please give a little.
