Leylas NF1/ Seizure journey

$4,065 donated
Given by 56 generous donors in around 3 months

We would really appreciate any support, to give leyla the treatment she needs to live a more happy and comfortable life.

Kumeu, Auckland

Leyla is a 4 year old girl who has always been full of life and energy. She was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 and seizures earlier this year. She has had 2 MRI's since February which showed she has multiple tumors in her brain and spinal cord. The report states an optic glioma is also possible. We are having to take each day as it comes and keep up with the regular checks In hope that her condition doesn't worsen as it seems to have effected her quite dramatically in such a short space of time. She has had many long and tiring trips to the hospital due to her not being well.

She has been finding day to day tasks more difficult. She's becoming more light and noise sensitive by the day, and often gets stomach/head aches we believe are a result of her seizure medication. Leyla was taking prescription CBD oil (in addition to her seizure medication) which we found really helped her, however we recently had to take her off it due to affordability as it is not funded.

It has not been a nice journey so far and we appreciate any support to provide leyla the help she needs to help her live more comfortably.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on the cost of non funded medications (prescription CBD oil) she requires, doctor recommended dietary requirements and go towards any treatments she may need in future.

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.
