I'm raising money for me & my family while I undergo chemotherapy. Your help will let me & my family focus on what really matters.

Waikato

My name is Ava & I'm 6yrs old. Three months ago I was diagnosed with a blood cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. My Dr's have given me a really promising prognosis & I am undergoing 3yrs of chemotherapy (which is really hard for me! ). My Mum, my Dad & my sister are with me as much as they can be so I'm never alone but it means they can't work so much while I'm sick. I have to travel lots & my family still have to pay rent & all the other bills they normally pay. My parents drive long distances every week to keep life normal for my sister Ena & to get me to my treatment.

My home is often empty while I have to stay in hospital but it is my home (where Ena & I grow up & make memories) & we want to be there as much as possible. My family does their best to pay the rent but struggles to keep up with all the expenses.

Thankfully my treatment & medicines are free but nothing else is. If you're able, please help me & my family return to normal when & where possible by donating whatever you can. All money raised will keep my home paid for & enable us to stay together as a family & help us all focus on me getting well as I go through my treatment.

Use of funds

Treatment related travel costs & bills. Any excess will be donated to child cancer foundation.

Thank you  25 April 2019

I hope everyone who has generously & kindly donated to Ava can know our gratitude. Thank you all so much. Ava is doing well for now as her Consolidation Phase comes to an end in 2 weeks. There are much harder times to come yet but she is incredibly resilient & will always have her family with her thanks to you all.
