Help me to Help Amee and her family on this tough road

After a great weekend of dancing and laughter, Amee duly went to sleep on Sunday the 20 June for Hayden her husband to be woken to this noise that will never leave him, upon turning the light on he turned to Amee to see her blue and struggling to breath as well as convulsing. The ambulance was call and Amee was on her way to hospital. Because Amee had a seizure she has had to surrender her drivers licence for 12 months at this stage. The up side to this is that they are lucky to have extremely supportive families to be able to help out with the children. A long process of elimination scans, tests and a very invasive Biopsy was needed to determine the grade and type of the tumour.

Until treatment starts Amee is experiencing, weakness in her right leg, extreme headaches, and fatigue, which is slowing her down somewhat.

Hayden a self employed fisherman was able to travel back and forward from Wellington for the tests but sadly their three children Bailee 13, Hadley 11 and Jade 8 weren't able to Join Amee and Hayden because of the RSV virus. The extent of the now confirmed tumour is a Oligodendroglioma which is grade two, but as this tumour can not be removed Amee is facing up to 6 weeks away from her friends and family in Wellington having extensive radiation treatment.

Unfortunately Amee has had to take leave from her Kindergarten job for the foreseeable future. This is putting great financial pressure on the family with Hayden having to juggle work, hospital appointments and keeping the house going.

All I ask is that you dig deep and Give a little, every cent counts, this family is strong and will get through this but we can help reduce the financial pressure for them.
