Raising funds for my brother in the Philippines for a gamma knife surgery due to a tumour.

Upper Hutt Central, Upper Hutt

In February 2020 my brother Alan was diagnosed with a brain tumour. In November 2020 He underwent a gamma knife surgery. With a follow up MRI in August 2023 it showed the tumour increased in size and is categorized grade 2 meningioma. From 3.4 x3.7 x2.2 grade 1 to 6.5x5.9x6.4 He has lost all eye sight in his left eye, The doctor has provided us with some options and suggestions to have another gamma knife surgery. The tumor is an aggressive one and is already pinching on the nerve of his right eye, but the amount of the surgery and ongoing medical cost will be an estimated 2 million pesos. Around $100,000.00 NZD. In short, I am appealing to the community to help me raise some funds to help my brother in the Philippines.

Use of funds

For the ongoing medical cost of my brother, as he will be needing surgery and radiation after.
