Marcela's battling a brain tumour

  • Update for 28/11/2014

      28 November 2014

    We have good news! The hospital has come back with a date for Marcela's operation to remove the tumour. She is scheduled to be admitted into hospital on Tuesday 2 December, with the operation to take place on Wednesday 3 December. At this stage we have no idea whether this operation is going to be funded by the Ministry of Health for the $50,000 plus required. There may have to be a payment plan to reimburse the hospital by Marcela and her family. These details are not confirmed. Regardless of whether the operation is covered by the Ministry of Health, funds will still be required for Marcela's rehabilitation. Marcela and her family would like to thank everyone for their kind words and generosity, it is very much appreciated. They have been very touched by family, friends, the caring community of Matamata, New Zealand and those abroad.
