Our 11yr old has (ESKD) End stage kidney disease

$5,670 of $6,000 goal
Given by 94 generous donors in 4 weeks

To help as we are separated from our other children well up at starship hospital Auckland with our daughter Destiny with ESKD.

Southland

Just over a week ago I took my daughter to our GP as she looked off colour and was low on energy, after a blood test and a rush to hospital it turns out she has as low as 10 percent kidney function.

We were told that she urgently needs to fly to starship hospital for more tests and diagnosis, as we have 4 kids total my partner of 12yrs jumped on a plane to Auckland from Invercargill. He has had to take time off work to be up there with our daughter Destiny, I have also just landed in Auckland after sorting family and friends to look after our other 3 children and pets.

Destiny has just had a operation and had a dialysis tube put in, which they had to edge on the side of caution as heart isn't 100 either.

We don't really like asking for hand outs but we have mortgage, car, loan payments to cover and other expenses. We are likely to be here until after Christmas and are unsure or how we are going to cope.

If you can please help. Thank you

Use of funds

Cover our mortgage, car, loan payments. Food costs and so we can repay those who have already helped us and still have a chance for a good Christmas. Any extra money that's donated will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
