💛 Help Us Fight for Melinke — Give Her Another Chance
Help 11-year-old Melinke fight terminal brain cancer. Donate now to give her a chance at life through CAR-T therapy overseas. 🙏💛
Auckland
Our beautiful 11-year-old daughter, Melinke Visser, is fighting an aggressive and terminal brain cancer called Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG).
Melinke has already endured radiation and countless medical treatments. For a while, we were given hope as her symptoms improved. But in April, her symptoms returned, and she has been declining each day. We are now facing another round of radiation and desperately searching for every possible option to keep our daughter with us.
One of those options is CAR-T cell therapy — an innovative treatment that may give Melinke another chance. Unfortunately, this treatment is not currently available to her in New Zealand, meaning we are looking at treatment opportunities overseas, including in the United States or China.
We are asking for your help because every donation could bring us one step closer to giving Melinke more time — more birthdays, Christmases, netball games, laughter and memories with her family.
If we are unable to reach our fundraising goal or if circumstances change and the funds are no longer required for Melinke’s treatment, any remaining funds will be donated to a cancer organisation to help support other families affected by childhood cancer.
Please donate, share and help us fight for our little girl. We are not ready to say goodbye. 💛
Use of funds
Funds will help cover Melinke’s CAR-T treatment overseas, international flights, accommodation, medical consultations, medication, transport, food and living costs, visas, travel insurance, and other urgent and unexpected treatment-related expenses. ahead. A page update will be posted once the country has been confirmed.
