Kia Ora whanau & friends,

Anyone who knows Cherelle and her whanau, know that they would do anything to help anyone. They have always opened their home to everyone and have supported many over the years. However, we have started this givealittle page in support of helping Cherelle and her whanau during this time.

Recently our little Miss Ida-Litia has been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma (cancer) and has been taken to Starship hospital for treatment. We are asking if whanau and friends are able to support them with a koha while they are on this journey with our darling.

Any amount would make a difference to help them financially with travel costs, costs for their home (utilities etc) and other costs over the next few months.

Today marks week 8 in starship

Ida has had 8 lots of cytarabine and 4 lots of etoposide and another 2 lots through her spine on Monday (chemo meds).

This chemo has been making her really nauseous and super tired. She’s only been awake a couple of hours in total the past 2 days.

Lastnight she also had fevers all throughout the night, her fevers have settled abit today though.

At least when she’s sleeping her body is resting and healing. One more day of chemo āpōpō and then abit of a bigger break till the next lot is due and also a long awaited visit from our boys that we can’t wait for.

Also how cool is our Fairhaven kura? Another fundraiser for Ida and our whānau on Friday.

Pikitia tuarua is a little snack gift box Ida put together for our nurses. She’s pretty cool our girl, still thinking of others while she goes through it. Ultimate gratitude to our nurses for always going above and beyond and our doctors as well.
