Dan and Carolyn need your help to support the family as they battle MND

Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt

Today, we reach out to you with heavy hearts to share the story of Cay & Eliza, and deeply loved Husband and Father Dan, who is facing a battle no wife or child should ever have to watch him fight.

Earlier this year, Dan - a devoted father and husband, and the main breadwinner, was diagnosed with the cruel and life limiting Motor Neurone Disease, also known as ALS. The progression has been rapid and the prognosis is awful. Currently, Dan is not able to access parts of his home easily as his mobility deteriorates, and accessing the community as a family is hard. Time for creating lasting memories for Eliza of her Dad and their family as a unit is also running out.

The money raised will be used to alter the bathroom and other areas for Dan's comfort, contribute towards a mobility vehicle, and provide opportunities to create family memories. Anything remaining will go towards end of life care and funeral expenses

Busy couple is weeks including starting the bathroom  14 October 2024

Posted by: Carolyn Beaumont

The school holidays were a super busy time with Miss Eliza turning 6 and both family and kids around to help us celebrate. Urgent bathroom modifications have been started and will continue for the next few days. Dan will be able to be wheeled directly into the shower and will make things so much easier. We also had a new electric wheelchair delivered via the hospital so Dan has a bit more freedom back now the scooter has become harder for him to use . Thank you so much to all our kind and generous supporters ❤️
