Raising money to help Tyrone's wife & family by relieving the burden of the cost of his funeral.

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

Tyrone is 23 years old and thought 3 months ago he had his whole life ahead of him. He had a job, was excited about his future with his partner (now wife) and was looking forward to being a dad for the first time but everything changed in September when he collapsed at work and was rushed into Northshore Hospital. After operations, blood transfusions and tests, Tyrone and his family were given the news no one wants to hear, he was terminal with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer and doesn’t have long to live. That day I saw what a wonderful man he had grown up to be and it made me so proud of him, as during the meeting Tyrone seemed more worried about his family and after all was said, he turned to his partner (now wife) and asked if she was alright and held her close, supporting her as she cried.

Tyrone has now been moved to Hospice. He got married last week to his beautiful partner and is fiercely fighting to be there for the birth of his son, but unfortunately is losing the battle and has been told he has days, more than weeks now.

Please donate as every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference, as his young pregnant wife and family should not have to worry about going into debt in a time of grieving. Thank you in advance for your help.
