Help Mike get the medical help he needs 🙏

Medical Help and everyday living.

Northcote, Auckland

Hello 👋

Im putting my pride in my pocket and asking for some help..... something I would never do. Normally we are the ones helping people, raising money for the firefighters families that lost their lives in the floods land helping with food in our community but now Its our time to ask for help 🫣

In March 2025 Mike started having seizures at the age of 47. Due to his back to back seizures and in and out of hospital he has had to close his company down as he can not drive for another 10 months or work in his profession. Mike was the bread winner of the house and due to his seizures Ive had to stop working in order to "watch" him as his last fall he cut his face. Mike is now showing signs of progressing MS and is on a waiting list to see the neurologist upto 6 months, he is suffering with aches and pains and just getting through everyday. We are hoping to get a private specialist and all the tests done before he gets any worse. In the meantime we have now used all our savings and sources in the last 8 months to live and not sure what to do next.

We are South Africans living in this beautiful country but unfortunately we do not have family here. Just our 2 young boys and us.

If you can donate anything, be it $1 every bit is much appreciated

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
