Dominic wants to go home

$4,140 donated
Given by 85 generous donors in around 10 months

Dominic was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia last May 2014. Dominic has just relapsed and the doctors have no more treatment to help cure him.

Manawatu / Whanganui

He has been such a battler but the leukaemia has got the better of his body.

Three weeks ago he went to Starship to start maintenance which included a lumbar puncture and chemo in the spine.

Sadly in the lumber puncture they have found a majority over 50% leukaemia cells. I have been told next to 0 chance of survival.

They have said further treatment will be tougher on him (and he has already had a tough run so far) while only prolonging his life.

We, as a family, are planning on making the rest of his life fun and enjoyable, with his family including 2 brothers and extended family. Dominic's greatest wish now is for the family to move back to his home town Christchurch. There is now some urgency in making this happen but we are determined to do this for Dominic. Despite a heavily discounted moving quote (for which we are extremely grateful), we still need to raise $10,000 to cover moving costs.
