Fundraising to help cover Maya's medical expenses for her recovery from a massive stroke

Auckland

It was around Mother's Day last year when Maya's (May Benitez) life drastically changed due to a massive stroke which required emergency surgery. This has been overwhelming not just for her but her entire family as well. By God's grace, she has been experiencing miracles and defying limitations brought about by her condition. She still requires ongoing therapy and treatment however some of these are no longer funded and are draining them financially. For a single income family, this can be unsettling. This is why we have set up this Give a Little page to hopefully help cover some of her medical expenses.

Witnessing Maya's journey, we are inspired seeing her determination to battle through anxiety, depression, learning to walk again, and go through life with a grateful & joyful heart. Thank you for taking time to read this and we hope you can support Maya in her recovery journey.
