Fundraising for Milena Zampa - An Argentinian woman in NZ with recently discovered a brain tumor.

Auckland

Milena Zampa is from Argentina living in NZ for 6 years.

She is going through a difficult time since a tumor in the left lobe of her brain was discovered a few weeks ago. She has to have surgery in April.

She cannot travel to Argentina due to medical recommendation so she is waiting to have surgery here.

She and her boyfriend, also Argentine, are using their Annual Leave and their savings to get through this moment and face the recovery after the operation. They also have a 3-month-old baby to take care of. But as we already know, money runs out and they need a hand.

They are trying to process a special visa so her mother can come to help on taking care of her and the baby.

In Argentina, her family and her friends are organizing events and others to raise money, but with the currency exchange it becomes harder to raise the amount needed.

This account will make it easier for everyone who wants to help outside of Argentina.

We need your help to bring Milena's mom to New Zealand and covers general expends during this time.

Every $ counts!, Thanks for your help!

Use of funds

Flights for her mom to come to NZ to take care of her and her granddaughter (if Immigration approves)

General living costs during recovery post surgery as she will be unable to work for months.

Thank you from my heart for your help! This account will be closed Monday 11th at 11.59pm.

I'm currently processing my Mom's Visa and I need these funds to be able to do so.

I couldn't have done it without you and for that, me and my family will be forever grateful.
