WOW!!!! We are so overwhelmed by everyones love! We wish we could hug every single one of you.

Thank you all so much! ❤❤❤

In July this year, our family recieved some devastating news. Our nephew Drew, was diagnosed with Grade 3 Anaplastic Ependymoma. An inoperable tumor on the right side of his brain.

This causes frequent seizures, which require hospital admissions on a weekly basis.

Our only option for treatment, is radiation, 5 times a week, to slow down its growth.

He has been given 12 months. If radiation works.

Drew is the oldest of 3 children. His mum Tina, and Dad Tofi, are doing an absolutely amazing job managing this terrible situation. But as anyone can imagine, its been hard.

So we as a family, have created this Give a Little page in hopes of easing the financial burden. Even just a little bit.

The money raised will hopefully allow this beautiful little family to create some lasting memories, that they will cherish forever.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Mel, Lige, April and Tewai.
