Help Me beat Astrocytoma and get back doing what I love

Kia ora, my name is Jay, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but also with hope. Recently, I was diagnosed with astrocytoma (brain tumors) that require surgery to remove it before it becomes malignant. This is going to be one of the hardest challenges of my life, both physically and emotionally, and while I’ve always tried to stand strong and handle things on my own, this is something I can’t face alone.

The surgery I need is vital—it gives me the best chance to continue living, healing, and building a future with my loved ones. Unfortunately, the costs involved are beyond what I can manage by myself. Between medical expenses, recovery time, and being unable to work as I heal, the financial strain is overwhelming.

That’s why I’m asking for your support. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward my surgery and recovery. Your kindness will help lift a huge weight off my shoulders and give me the chance to focus on what matters most—getting through this, healing, and being here for the people I love.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, for sharing, and for any support you can give. It truly means the world to me.
