LET LUIE LIVE LAUGH LOVE.......

Luie is an 18-year boy, currently living in Port Vila Vanuatu with a significant facial tumor that needs urgent surgery and treatment. His surgery cannot be carried out in Vanuatu.

For the past 5 months we have been knocking on doors for his treatment to be carried out overseas and no doors have have opened while his tumor is growing and his need for urgent medical intervention increases by the day.

Luie is suffering. He is facing daily challenges of significant difficulty eating and drinking, talking and huge discomfort. He has already had enormous challenges and has faced terrible trauma in his life with his father being murdered in front of him at the age of 14 years old. Luie wants to be a mechanic. He has a future of hope and an incredible testimony to tell if we can help him over this mountain.

On the 20th October, finally a door has opened for Luie to enable him to receive treatment. We have received a quote from Medivisor India for Luie's surgery and medical care and believe this is the door God has opened for Luie.

So what next? We ask if you would kindly consider pledging and donating towards Luie’s treatment which is approximately 2.5 million vatu or $21,000 USD.

I believe that we can join hands together and make this happen for Luie, whether you can give 1000vt, $1000 or $10,000 every bit counts.

Ready …set…..GO!!! Come on team, we are batting for Luie.

Please be a part of our team helping Luie to LIVE LAUGH LOVE...

LUIE IS SAFELY HOME TUMOR FREE - 'BIGFALA TANK YU' EVERYONE  10 December 2023

TEAM WORK makes the DREAM WORK!! THE DREAM HAS WORKED.. Luie is safely home to Vanuatu from India after just over 1 month. A 7 hour surgery, a 700g tumor done and dusted. It was non cancerous and is completed removed. There has been some bone deformity of his cheek bone caused by the tumor. Luie still has some rehabilitation and restoration work to be done with his teeth and mouth, which is to be expected from such a major operation. Thank you God for being the way maker and the miracle worker. Thank you Medivisor for the excellent care, thank you everyone who has generously given to give Luie LIFE, HOPE and a BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD. It was life saving for sure!!

YAY, YAY, YAY !!

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.
