Jorjas leukaemia story

Bluff, Southland

Jorja is 3 years old turning 4 on Wednesday.last Monday Jorja was diagnosed with leukaemia which absolutely knocked the wind out of her poor mum and dad who took her to the doctor for a simple check up . In the last week Jorja has had surgery and 2 lots of chemotherapy already . But Jorja has been such a brave wee girl and smiling through most of it .Jorjas mum and dad my brother Arron and his wife Bec are currently running their own property maintenance business where Arron does all the handy work and Bec does all the admin .I wanted to start this page for them as Jorja is going to be in and out of hospital having her treatment for the next 2 and a half to 3 years . The funds will go towards making Jorjas days a little bit brighter and alleviate some of that financial worry for mum and dad who have 2 other children at home to look after also .

Tania Phillipson's involvement (page creator)

Jorja is my niece and her dad is my brother. As they live in Australia, I will receive the funds on their behalf in the first instance before sending to them.

Use of funds

It will help mum and dad be able to both be there for Jorja for her treatment over the next 2.5 to 3 years and it will help some of jorjas dark days a little bit brighter. Funds will be used for general living expenses so they don’t need to work as much while Jorja is having her treatment

Update on Jorja   16 May 2024

Just an update on Jorja she now won’t eat or drink and won’t really talk either .She’s constantly having full body MRI scans and every Friday she has to have a lumbar puncture.On top of all this she has influenza and she has no immunity so has had to stop having her chemotherapy for a few days until she regains some immunity.All she wants to do is stay in bed all day and because she won’t eat or drink is having to have liquid food fed to her through a tube in her nose which she keeps vomiting up please keep praying for our precious wee princess ❤️
