Lifesaving Surgery fundraiser for our sister, Roslyne.
Please help us to raise funds for lifesaving surgery in India for our sister who lives in Vanuatu.
Recently our sister Roslyne who lives in Vanuatu, needed to be flown to Fiji to get an urgent scan and biopsy after having prolonged chest pain. It was discovered she now requires lifesaving surgery to remove a mass from her chest wall that is currently compressing on her lung.
After receiving that diagnosis and knowing this surgery can only be performed abroad, we are now needing to raise funds urgently for the travel and surgery costs. The families have been seeking a number of hospitals based in India that can offer the necessary surgery and care, the quotes provided thus far are in excess of $20,000 USD and that is just for the surgery alone, this does not include her travel cost nor the cost for a support person to accompany her.
