Help Dylan & Noēl to be with their daughters while seeking stage 4 cancer treatment

Wellington

My wife Noēl and I are an indigenous family who have recently had to make an emergency trip to America. Noēl is working through stage 4 cancer treatment as well as the miracle of becoming pregnant. Noēl's case is very rare with both her specific cancer type and going through a high risk pregnancy at her age. The family are extremely grateful that Noēl is able to access specialist Cancer Treatment services in her home region of Wisconsin, USA. This has been an incredibly challenging time for us. It has meant having to leave our home, our income security and our family and support network. It's been a massive upheaval for our family, including our two amazing daughters Honey, age 11 & Juno, age 8 who have had to remain in Aoteroa until the baby is born safely and can travel home. Our family is in need of help toward the extreme costs during this time and to help us to bring Honey and Juno over to be with us. We have both spent time contributing to the communities we have lived in and have helped many others. If you can, we could really do with some help at this time. Thank you, Dylan
