Help save Jonno

Less than a year ago, my beloved partner Jonno, father to 11 year old Josie and stepdad to 7 year old Isiah and 4 year old Ameila. Jonno also has an adult daughter who no longer lives at home. Jon was diagnosed with squameous cell skin cancer and chronic lymphatic leukemia. We privately funded the major surgery to remove tumor and afftected Lymphnodes as the public wait list was too long/slow for the aggressiveness of his Cancer . He also under went 6wks of Radiation Therapy through the public hospital. And just when we thought the battle was won with the skin cancer and that the Leukemia could be managed, just before Christmas Jonno experienced chronic pain and we discovered the skin cancer tumours had returned. Jonno now needs more treatment, he can not currently work so household is down to a single income. As he is fighting an aggressive cancer and time is the utmost importance and we are finding that we are still having to pay for private consults to move treatment forward or else face delays under the public system. It may involve funding Keytruda which is not covered for this type of skin cancer. Thus any donations would be so very much appreciated as to assist us to pay private consults, or treatment not funded by the health system and to make ends meet on the home front while steps are taken to confirm Jonno's future treatment options.
