Hope for Our Dad Ken – Urgent Treatment Needed for Rare Cancer

$6,430 of $126,000 goal
Given by 34 generous donors in around 8 months

Help us give our dad a fighting chance by supporting his access to treatment that could extend his time with us.

Kaipara Flats, Auckland

Our Dad, Ken is facing a heartbreaking battle with stage 4 SCLC (Small Cell Lung Cancer). We've been told time is short—but there’s still hope, with treatment, he may be able to extend his time with us and create more precious memories with the people who love him most.

We’re raising funds to cover urgent medical treatment that could slow the progression of our dad’s illness and give him more precious time with those who love him. This includes specialist care and life-extending treatments that aren’t publicly funded—costs our family simply can’t meet on our own.

Our dad is the heart of the family. He’s kind, humble, and has spent his life giving to others without asking for anything back. Now, we’re asking on his behalf.

Any amount you can give—no matter how small—will make a real difference. And even if you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world to us.

We are so deeply grateful for your kindness and support.

Use of funds

The money will go toward specialist appointments, unfunded cancer treatments, medication, and supportive care to help extend our dad’s time with family.
