Courageous five-year-old daughter to undergo intensive treatment

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Hi, I’m Mandy, and I’m fundraising to support Jarrod, a devoted father who is currently caring for his courageous five-year-old daughter as she undergoes intensive medical treatment.

She is a vibrant, kind-hearted child who was thriving at school until a serious illness struck earlier this year. Her treatment involves regular trips from Tauranga to Auckland for specialist care and will continue for at least the next two-and-a-half years.

Jarrod’s employers have been supportive, yet the time he spends at hospital means he cannot work full-time. This fundraiser aims to ease the financial strain so he can focus on being the loving father his daughter needs.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help cover essential living costs and travel expenses, allowing Jarrod to remain by his daughter’s side throughout her treatment journey.

Thank you for helping this amazing dad support his brave little girl.
