Raising funds to help with a cremation when I go as my children can't afford to do it.

Nationwide

Hello people I am going through AML and this is my last chance to try and make things easier for my kids and up and coming grandson. I don't have long to live I've been through chemo which wasn't pleasant, I wasn't successful in getting a donar for a transplant so I'm on borrowed time, I have to do blood transfusions and get my blood counts done weekly. I can't get life insurance. My children I will surely miss and seeing them grow old. Please help me raise funds to go towards my funereal, I've always put others before myself in life and helped out when and where I could. I can't leave this world knowing that I failed my kids. They are too young to get a grant from winz to help as one is only 15yrs old and my eldest is 18 with her first born due on the 1/7/19. She will need to focus on her son and for her to have such a bill to deal with would be an unwarranted burden. This is the first and only time I've reached out in hope for help and it's heart breaking. I wish I could have longer but I don't, I've got very little in belongings for them to sell to cover the costs so I'm really and a loss. Thank you for your understanding and compassion and I hope you find it in your heart to donate what you can to help So that my kids are not left with such a burden. Having been diagnosed with acute myloyed leukaemia (AML) in November of last year I have hoped and prayed that I could beat it but time is not going to be in my side this time round. I'm going to miss everything everyone and life in general. I drew the Short straw this time ...

Use of funds

A cremation for myself any left over money will go back to a charitable organization I'm hoping to raise at least $2500.00 to cover funeral costs and cremation I don't know what it costs it could be more it could be less but any donations will help.

Remission stage  10 March 2021

To everyone who was kind and showed support I wish to thank you all, I am in remission which is great, all money that was donated has been transferred into another bank for when the final whistle blows.

There have been haters out there trying to defame me accusing me of scamming people which is utter bs. How can you fake cancer 🤦

To those who made complaints to give a little making such an untrue accusation you really need to grow up. I have been asked by the page to pretty much explain things which I don't mind but only because of deluded jellous individuals out there. Every 3 months I still undergo bone marrow biopsies and have blood checks every month. If I make the 5yr mark of remission then the specialist recons they can consider me as cured.

Just because someone opens a give a little page and is il it doesn't mean that they're gonna drop dead straight away some of us are strong willed and fight it and what ever donations have been donated they go to where it was intended for nothing else. Hopefully this update has put a stop to the person's trying to stir. Thanks again people and friends for your help.

So sorry this is happening to you Steve. I can imagine the rough time your going through as my sister is walking something very similar. There is always hope but good to know your children can prepare a nice day of remembrance if it comes.
