Help Dad get the treatment he needs

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Dad, has been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal incurable cancer. They beleive it started in his esophogus but it is very advanced now and has spread all throughout his body, causing a whole lot of pain and sickness.

With his cancer spreading so rapidly, he needs proper pain relief and treatment urgently. Yet, his next appointment with the oncologist could take another four weeks in the public health system, time we simply don’t have. The doctors have strongly recommended we pursue private care so he can get the help he needs without delay.

Unfortunately, Dad hasn’t been able to work for some time, and the financial strain is heavy. We want him to be as comfortable as possible in the time he has left, but going private is costly, and we’re struggling to afford it. We know that times are tough for everyone, and just affording the basics like rent and groceries is a huge challenge, but any contribution would mean the world to us.

We’re asking for your awhi to give our Dad the chance to spend his remaining time with dignity, proper care, and as little pain as possible. Every little bit helps, and we are so incredibly grateful for any koha you can give.

Ngā mihi nui from the bottom of our hearts for your aroha and tautoko.
