Help Lee fight for her life

  • Thank you and Merry Christmas

      13 December 2018

    A final message from me and the biggest Thank you from Lee's 3 beautiful boys. With out your help and generous nature we wouldn't have been able to assist them financially through one of the toughest times in their lives. The first instalment was paid out a few weeks ago and was an immense help towards Bronsons costs who spent 10 weeks in NZ for Lee. The next and final instalment will be divided equally between all three boys. We will be closing the page down in the next few days. Malo, Thank you and Merry Christmas xxx

  • A message from Bronson

      22 November 2018

    Dear family and friends around NZ and the world.

    For those of you that live overseas this news might come to you too late, I am heartbroken to say today Lee's life support will be turned off. A message from Bronson is linked here for you to watch via facebook if this is possible.

    I know we are all with the family in our thoughts even if we can not be there in person. Im sorry to bring this sad news. We are all with heavy hearts today. Another update will follow when I have news.

  • Lee is still fighting for her life.

      12 November 2018

    Thank you so much for the continued support and donations for Lee and her family.

    We haven’t updated for a while as we anxiously wait for improvement with Lee. The situation although showing a little light has not improved unfortunately. Her right lung has now completely deteriorated and she currently has 60% capacity from her left. Although the original bug is not multiplying sadly another one has entered her body along with pneumonia, which is creating havoc on her lungs from the vast amount of phlegm. Doctors are removing phlegm as much as possible; this also can create issues and is a delicate procedure. She is still on the echmo and dialysis machine.

    While her heart remains strong Lee, with the beautiful big heart is still fighting for her life,

    We all have Lee in our thoughts and prayers to recover from this.

    Her boys are an absolute credit to Lee and the fantastic Mother she is. Will keep you posted should any further developments arise.

    Thank you, love and blessings from Lee and family.
