Auckland

Kia ora everyone this givealittle page is for our baby River and whanau.

River is currently at Starship hospital in Auckland under going chemo for a very rare child cancer called hepatoblastoma. It is so rare that only about 8 children in the UK are diagnosed each year. As you can imagine times are very hard and emotional right now. Thank you all for your aroha, support and koha xo

Kia ora whanau  24 July 2018

Kia ora whanau..Well alot has happened since the last update..River has had surgery where 2/3rds of her liver was removed..This was a success!!! During her recovery her port, which is what they give her chemo and IV medicines through became infected so weve had to get that removed and are now just waiting to get another line put in so that hopefully we can get the 1st of her last lot of chemo b4 the end of the month...This has put us back a few steps with our journey to get home but thats ok..these things happen..She has 3 more treatments of chemo left..These are just to ensure that if anything was left behind the chemo will kill it...These treatments will be 3-4 weeks apart and will be given over 3 days..Hopefully in between we will be able to go back to Gisborne and stay and travel back for her next treatment..This depends on how well she reacts to the chemo..So at the moment whanau that is where we are at..The light at the end of the tunnel is gradually getting closer...All your koha helps us tremendously and we are very grateful...Arohanui❤❤❤

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
