Kent, loving father of 3, has been diagnosed with Primary CNS Lymphoma. We need your help to get him the treatment he needs to fight this!

Auckland

Our beautiful friend Jess is reeling from the news that her amazing, gentle and kind husband, Kent, has been diagnosed with Primary CNS Lymphoma. Just days after his 31st birthday, he complained of headaches and blurred vision and ultimately a biopsy found two tumors in his brain, each a little over an inch in size. He now is looking at about 26 rounds of intensive chemo every 2 weeks and each time will involve a hospital stay away from his babies for 5 consecutive days, then home again for 9-10 days. And so it will continue.

Unfortunately, the treatment is not funded and Kent’s health insurance will only cover a small portion. Kent is unable to work and support his family and Jess is now carrying the load. They have a LONG way to go and we are calling on friends, family and strangers alike, with a big heart, to give anything they can to help support the Atacador family.

Kent and Jess live in Manila with their 3 children; Manu, Cash and Flossy Please help them fight this. No donation is too small. Every little bit counts.

Rest in Peace, Kent  25 November 2019

On Friday Kent lost his battle, grew wings and took up a new residence in Heaven.

Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of support and so kindly donated. We will keep the page live over the coming weeks, as any additional support would be much appreciated to help pay medical bills and funeral costs.

Rest in eternal peace Kent. We know you will be smiling that big smile as you watch over your family.

We love you x
