Maia's Journey

As some of you may or may not know Maia, our 6 year old daughter, sister, grand-daughter, niece and pal to many has been diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. As you could imagine this has come as a huge shock to everyone who loves Maia, on Wednesday the 29th of March she was airlifted to Perth Children's Hospital where a Lumbar puncture was performed and a port inserted into her her chest to allow for immediate Chemotherapy treatments, along with steroids - this no doubt has saved her life. Now Maia, Ellalee, Tim and extended Whanau have a 2 year long treatment programme ahead with Maia not being able to leave the hospital for the next 9 months. As you could imagine the financial pressure will be immense and any help to ease this will be greatly appreciated and allows us to focus on what is most important our girl Maia.
