Please help this 9 year old boy!

Please help Gideon Van Zyl! He is a 9 year old boy who lost is beloved mother to cancer and now on the verge of losing his father, as he has been diagnosed terminal too. Losing a parent is a heartache but losing both at such a young age is a completely different and very sad story. I am his half sister and I am writing this message with tears in my eyes...

It has always been my mothers wish for Gideon to join my husband and I in NZ for a better future! Gideon is currently living in South Africa and we are doing everything in our power for him to join our family in New Zealand. My husband and I have put all our money towards getting Gideon here. We have been working on getting him here for the past 3 years and am affraid that our time is running out as his fathers health is deteriorating daily.

After a long struggle in trying to conceive our own bubba it all hit us at once! We have recently welcomed our own son into this world and also received great news that Gideon's visa has finally been approved.

We are a very hard working couple and we have always managed on our own and we are willing to go without, if it means that we can offer Gideon a better furture.

However, the legal fees, immigrations fees, adoption fees and travel fees are piling up way too fast. We can't keep up at this pace and need a little help to ensure my mothers wish is fulfilled and that my brother knows a better life.

No donation is too small and every donation will be deeply appreciated from the bottoms of our hearts!

I would also like to say thank you for taking the time to read about our situation.
