💔Help Ava and her family through cancer💔

Ava Pimm is a beautiful 8-year-old girl with sparkling blue eyes and the kindest heart. Once shy and silent, Ava blossomed into a confident and happy child after discovering joy in kapa haka and the love of her school whānau.

But now, her world has turned upside down.

Earlier this year, Ava was diagnosed with stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma—a rare and aggressive cancer. Her treatments haven’t worked. She is now facing the amputation of her leg in an attempt to prolong her life, but the outlook is heartbreaking.

A Single Mum Doing Her Best

Ava’s mum, Laura, is a single mum of six children, including an autistic child, doing everything she can to care for Ava during this devastating time. With no local support, Laura has had to leave her younger children behind for weeks at a time while staying with Ava at Starship Hospital. The separation, stress, and financial strain have been overwhelming.

A family with limited resources would greatly appreciate financial relief to afford essentials such as food, warm clothing, transportation, and childcare. Also, the support with medical equipment to manage pain and daily life as her body weakens.

No Mother Should Do This Alone

Laura is doing everything she can, but she cannot do this alone. Please, consider donating, sharing, or simply sending love their way. Every little bit makes a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
