Raising funds to keep (14 month old) Maisey’s mum and dad by her side during her treatments ❤️

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Our baby girl Maisey (14mths old) has just been diagnosed with neuroblastoma that has spread to multiple parts of her body, affecting her eyes, her stomach and her bone marrow. We are still waiting for other test results and scans before they confirm next steps for her treatment, but they have started her on her chemo. Spending the past 3 weeks up at Starship has taken a massive toll on the whole whanau. Dad Kaelin Hape who is the sole provider has had to put his job on hold so he can be there to support both mum Deeanna and big brother Cullen(2) during this difficult period. We hope to raise funds to allow this whanau to stay together while sweet little Maisey fights her battle ahead. From the Manawatu, this whanau is a long way from home. Any and all support will go straight to Deeanna & Kaelin to help them during this journey and allow them all to stay at Starship with Maisey as long as she needs ❤️

For point of contact please call Charmaine Hape (Kaelin’s mum and Maisey’s grandmother) on 0274042896

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
