Jay Jay, Skylah and family need assistance with her brain tumor journey
Raising funds to support Skylah and her family as she was diagnosed with a large brain tumor and rushed to starship hospital.
Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui
Anyone who has the pleasure of knowing Skylah will all say how she is the most beautiful caring kind lovely little 7 year old girl. Skylah was due for her routine eye check up on Thursday, which led to being admitted to Palmerton north hospital the following day.
Sadly on Saturday a MRI scan showed Skylah has a large brain tumor, that evening Skylah and her mum Jay Jay were flown to starship hospital to undergo further testing and the doctors to make a plan of what is to come next.
While Jay Jay has some leave at work, her ability to return to work is uncertain, so any assistance no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.
This will help Skylah, Jay Jay and her 2 other young children who are staying with family back in Wanganui, and Skylah's dad Alistair who has flown up to be by her side

Latest update
Back to Auckland 16 July 2024
On Sunday the 14th July we flew to Auckland for Skylah to have a few check ups. She has had an ultrasound of her heart to make sure that everything is okay there, and she also had an X-Ray of her left hand so they can measure her growth plates before starting chemotherapy. Today we are in Greenlane having an eye test, to see how much Skylah’s eyesight has decreased and if there is the possibility of glasses to help her. At this stage she still has no vision in her left eye and very little in her right eye.
Skylah is also having an MRI today to check that the shunt is still in place, and that nothing abnormal has happened with the tumor. Hopefully will will be home tomorrow or Thursday and return to Auckland next week to start Chemotherapy.
