Help Joshie (and his whānau) as they journey for answers and treatment for Joshie’s cancer.

Taranaki

Dan and Michelle recently found out their son Joshie has cancer.

Within 6 months trying to identify and diagnose Joshie’s cancer, the doctors advised that Joshie had Ewing's Sarcoma, only to then be told, by a new doctor, that diagnosis is inaccurate.

Joshie has since been into theatre for bone marrow extraction and starts Chemotherapy today, 21 January 21.

There is currently still no confirmed diagnosis of the type of cancer it is or it’s aggressiveness. The whānau seek answers and to be close to their son to support him with aroha on this journey.

This page is set up for Joshie and his whānau to be together on this journey and help with the costs associated with treatment and medical costs which are NOT covered by the Public Health System/ACC, expenses & whānau well-being.

Use of funds
