Giving Caylus a beautiful farewell

Our beautiful son, Caylus, was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (JMML) at just 2 years old. He bravely endured chemotherapy and was blessed to receive a bone marrow transplant from a donor, allowing him to beat cancer.

Sadly, his journey didn’t end there. Caylus developed Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD), which severely affected his skin and later attacked his lungs. Although his skin healed, there was no cure for the damage to his lungs. Over the next three years, he relied on oxygen, a BiPAP machine, and countless hospital stays at Starship.

Despite everything, Caylus remained incredibly brave. He made friends, brought smiles to those around him, and faced every challenge with strength beyond his years. Our family balanced his treatments while raising his two brothers, and Starship Hospital became our second home.

On 25 June 2026, after fighting for four amazing years, our brave boy peacefully passed away at just 6 years old.

We are now trying to give Caylus the loving farewell he deserves. We don’t yet know the full cost of his funeral, but any donation, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Some financial assistance may be available but will not cover everything.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this heartbreaking time.
