Please help us fund our brother Sam’s cancer treatment

Auckland

Our brother Sam’s cancer has unfortunately developed into Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer. This means he now has new tumours growing in his lungs. He needs to begin treatment urgently to extend his life so he can spend as much time as he can with his two young sons aged nine and eleven.

Sam’s siblings Simone, Joseph, Victor, Petra, Ezra, mum Kate, and family are asking for donations toward the treatment called Avastin, an unfunded treatment that has been recommended for his specific cancer alongside funded chemotherapy. It’s hoped this will greatly improve his chances. The drug alone costs approximately $20,000 plus approximately an additional $20,000 for the administration of the treatment and we would love to support this to happen as soon as we can. We would be so grateful for whatever contributions people can make to support our beloved young brother.

Sam’s Givealittle page closes tomorrow.

We ( Sam’s family ) wanted to express our deep appreciation and gratitude to all who donated to Sam’s treatment. Sam is currently still doing chemotherapy and the Avastin treatment which you all helped fund. The road is still long but your contributions & aroha have enabled Sam to be supported to give him the best chance possible.

We thank you all deeply,
