Help Give a Little. In support of Johnny, Ayşe & Their Boys Through the Unthinkable.

Auckland

Johnny & Ayşe are devoted parents of two beautiful little boys. Johnny has always been the provider, while Ayşe has stayed at home to care for their children alongside part time work as a creative. Their world was recently turned upside down when Johnny was diagnosed with a rare & aggressive form of terminal cancer. He has already lost over 20kg and is currently enduring intensive chemotherapy. Ayşe is now his full-time carer, supporting him through every step of this painful journey.

The family is now facing not only heartbreak, but the heavy financial weight that comes with it. They urgently need help covering mortgage payments so they don’t lose their home they worked so hard to achieve. Every day living costs & preparing for the heartbreaking reality of funeral expenses is all a burden very hard to bear at this time. Every little bit helps to lift some of that weight so they can focus on what truly matters, holding each other close during this precious time. This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of that burden and allow Johnny and Ayşe to focus on what matters most: spending precious time together as a family. Please feel free to share this page with others — your support truly means the world to them.

SONG: IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL VERSE 1 When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul CHORUS It is well with my soul It is well with my soul It is well, it is well with my soul VERSE 2 Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should come Let this blest assurance control That Christ has regarded my helpless estate And has shed His own blood for my soul VERSE 3 My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought My sin, not in part, but the whole Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul VERSE 4 And Lord, haste the day When my faith shall be sight The clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend Even so, it is well with my soul
