Dads last fight

Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt

So as many of you already know Dad has been fighting his battle with Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile duct cancer) for a little over 2 years now. Considering Dad was given short months (whatever that means) when we first were told about it. He has managed to succeed that expectation and fight it out longer than any of us thought. He has been an absolute champion through it all. Unfortunately it is very much starting to take over and Dad is starting to deteriorate . Even though he will still try to give us a smile and act like everything is ok. His eyes are starting to lose their light, hes losing the jump in his step and his mind is falling asleep. My Mum (Michelle) has had to take on this journey with my Dad on her own as my Sister and I dont live close by. Mum has had to take time off work to care for Dad. Which means finances have been super tight. With Dad needing 24/7 care now mum can no longer work. So we are asking for your help. In any way possible. If you can spare some change please donate to help ease the burden of finances and any bumps we come across on these last moments with Dad.

We love and appreciate you all. xxx
