Help Amber and her family get through a hard time

$4,960 of $1,000 goal
Given by 70 generous donors in 13 days

Amber and her family are going through a super tough time, on top of this they are experiencing financial hardship.

Otago

My big sister Amber is going through something which no one wants to face. Her husband and father to their 2 children, Francis, has been suffering from a brain tumor for the last 5 years. They have had news this week that it is spreading, and spreading aggressively.

They have been told that there is not much that the doctors can do for him at this stage.

On top of this Amber runs her own salon in Cromwell. Her head hairdresser has had to take indefinite sick leave, leaving Amber little choice but to currently have the salon closed, maybe permanently. This is Amber's main income source. Amber and her girls are now facing financial hardship on top of everything else. They stand to lose everything!!

All I am asking for is not to get Amber and her family on a holiday, or anything luxurious like that. What they need is help to stay in their home, feed themselves and put petrol in their car.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated, as little as $5 will be a welcome help.

Big thank you and update on Amber and Francis  2 December 2015

Hi everyone,

Firstly a massive thank you to all the people who donated to help the Linds. The final amount is over whelming and all your kind words and messages have reached Amber and Francis and they are very touched by the kindness shown by all of you.

As for Amber and Francis' day to day life, at the moment Amber has been able to keep the salon open a few days a week as her head stylist has been able to come back when she is well enough which is a great help to them. The last I heard Francis was doing well, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Once again words cannot express the gratitude Amber, Francis and I feel towards all of you. Thanks so much.

Roxy
