Help Shaun, Isla, Ezra & Archie Make Memories & Prepare for the Future

$18,520 donated
Given by 186 generous donors in around 4 months

Help Shaun and his family create lasting memories and ease financial stress during the terminal stages of his cancer journey.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Shaun and Isla have been married for almost 5 years, they have two beautiful boys, Ezra (almost 4) and Archie (almost 2). In 2024 life changed forever when Shaun, then only 32, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer (follicular dendritic cell sarcoma)

It began with a small lump on his chest and swelling under his arm. After months of tests Shaun began 6 cycles of chemotherapy, followed by 5 weeks of daily radiation. In January 2025 he faced a life altering forequarter amputation (the only way to remove all known cancer).

For a short time they celebrated Shaun being cancer free, but in August 2025 a scan revealed 5 nodules in Shaun’s lungs. Shaun is now terminal and treatment options are limited. Doctors estimate just 1–2 years. Shaun’s strength, positivity and unwavering love for his family continues to inspire many.
