Help Verron Care for Melissa & Grayson During an Unimaginable Time

$2,525 donated
Given by 47 generous donors in 2 days

To help ease some of that burden & allow Verron to spend more meaningful time with Melissa & Grayson during this incredibly precious time.

Auckland

Our family is reaching out for help to support my half-brother Verron, his partner Melissa, and their beautiful son Grayson.

Melissa has recently been diagnosed with advanced, incurable metastatic breast cancer after previously undergoing breast cancer treatment and a mastectomy. Despite everything she has already endured, the cancer has now spread to her bones. She now faces ongoing treatment, medical care, and an incredibly difficult road ahead.

At the same time, their 10-year-old son Grayson lives with multiple complex medical conditions including Berger disease, cerebral palsy and autism. Grayson is non-verbal and requires full-time care including help with feeding, showering, dressing, changing and lifting. He also experiences significant sleep disturbances.

Despite these challenges, Verron continues to work incredibly hard to support his family. He is currently working seven days a week and waking at 4am each morning so he can work enough hours before returning home to care for both Melissa and Grayson.

The emotional, physical and financial pressure on this family is immense.

With enough support, we are also hoping to help this family move into a home of their own, creating a stable and secure environment where they can focus on what matters most — being together as a family.
