Help fund a young father to USA for a life changing treatment

Tokoroa, Waikato

In January 2023 at the age of 23, Hayden was diagnosed with a rare Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) on his brain. This is when the blood vessels are tangled up into a small ball and put pressure on his brain. He has had many ongoing side effects that have started to affect his every day life, after many tests they found that his AVM cannot be surgically removed & that he would have to travel to America for radiation for him to have a chance at a normal life, without this treatment hayden will end up paralysed. There is nothing any specialist in New Zealand can do for him. America is the only country in the world that specialises with AVM this rare. Please help us raise funds so Hayden can have the best quality of life, for not only himself, but his three children.
