Lets get ROD to America
Getting Rodney to the USA for a potential life extending Stem Cell Transfusion
Auckland
This is our good mate Rod, he attacks life like no other!
Two years ago he was diagnosed with the terrible disease MND Motor Neurone Disease. Seeing his will and attitude to beat this disease impresses me on the daily! He has been accepted to take part in an experimental Stem Cell Procedure in New Jersey USA, whilst experimental success is being found, he requires two transfusions over a two week period: the cost $50,000 USD.
Rod is using all his savings to cover this BUT he needs our help in getting him there, flights, accommodation for three weeks with potentially another two weeks for respite care on his return, I know we are all going through tough times right now but if you can spare anything to get our man Rod to the USA it would be massively appreciated!
Appreciate y'all.
