I am asking for help for one of the kindest, caring families I know. Please support them in their time of need, while fighting cancer.

Auckland

My dear friends Neal and Donna find themselves in difficult times. Neal was recently diagnosed with sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma. Since the family first heard about the possibility of cancer in late July, Neal has had two CT scans, an MRI, a PET scan and a biopsy. He started his first round of chemotherapy in September. Following this, Neal had a severe reaction and spent a week in hospital. Neal and his family have a challenging time ahead of them, while Neal battles this rare and aggressive cancer.

Neal is a kind, gentle and hard working man, who wholeheartedly loves his wife, children and three grandchildren. Neal always puts his family and friends first. He is the first person to lend a hand to anyone in need. Donna has spent her working career giving so much to her community, as a health care assistant in the hospital, carer in a rest home and more recently a teacher aide, supporting children with diverse needs. Both Neal and Donna have changed the lives of so many for the better, supporting others through difficult times. It's now our turn to wrap them in a big supportive hug.

Neal is the main supporter of his family, while Donna works as a Teacher Aide. Neal is looking at being out of work for over six months, with no income. Donna will also need to take time off work to support Neal. We want to relieve some of the financial pressure and stress, while they focus on spending time as a family and beating this together. Any support big or small is much appreciated.
