Lachie Love needs your help!

Hello everyone!

Time for a quick update. Lachie is doing reasonably well, staying out of hospital and able to get out and about to do a few things.

On Friday we had his Make-A-Wish party through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Zealand. He wanted a big party will all of his friends and family, so we all descended on Arena Albany for arcade games, slushies, pizzas, inflatable obstacle course and Nerf Wars! He's always loved Nerf Guns, and was super excited to hear he got to keep all of the guns! This is still something he regularly does, often using his Opa as target practice!

He's working hard at physio to get more mobility, and recently acquired a walker to give him a bit more independence. At this stage there is no further treatment plan.

Everyone knows the old saying "when it rains it pours", and unfortunately Liesje & Andy have been hit with something new to stress about. Their mortgage has always been with HSBC who have now withdrawn from the NZ Market, meaning they need to remortgage at a much higher rate, however, the renovations on the house aren't complete, meaning no CCC, Andy isn't working as he's full time carer for Lachie and Liesje is working less to spend time with him. There's also 'unusual' spending for bucket list items and extra medical expenses like private physio so they can't get a new lender. If anyone has any tips, please let us know!

Once again we're extremely grateful for your support!

Nikki
