Help baby Declans long journey ahead
Levin, Manawatu-Wanganui
Baby Declan is 16 weeks old and has just been diagnosed with a choroid plexus papilloma, so a tumor in the centre of his brain. Declan is getting transferred to starship hospital for brain surgery.
I have set this up for help of travel costs, and what ever extra costs that arise during this time to take the burden of his parents.

Latest update
Declan’s 9 months 13 April 2026
On Behalf of our family expecially Baby Declan we hope everyone has had a safe and great Easter 🐣 a little update to where we are at at the moment…
Next Month Declan is having another MRI to check in to see where the tumour was from there we will have a meeting with all the medical team at starship to discuss where to and Declan’s ongoing care/treatment journey so please keep him in your thoughts.
He has definitely enjoyed living his best life back at home with his brothers with no hospital trips for a few weeks which is great for us and gives us all a break and a rest to try and process this unimaginable journey we have been on.
Declan is 9 months old now and is on the move which is amazing to see considering what he’s been through and what life had thrown at him but he’s definitely making up for lost time and am hoping we can have some normality coming up.
