Support for Mateo: A young boy fighting for his life

Auckland

Mateo is only 11 years old and is currently in PICU with 24hour care in starship children’s hospital. Without getting into to much personal details Mateo began with what began as a routine flu that quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation. His parents took him to the doctors on Tuesday in Hawke’s bay were he was sent to the Hastings hospital for emergency care. Later that night he was Airlifted from Hawke’s bay hospital to starship children’s hospital and is currently in an induced coma fighting for his life due to multiple organ failure.

Once a vibrant, energetic child, Mateo's sudden decline has left his family in shock and heartache. His parents and 2 brothers remain by his side, navigating this overwhelming journey with unwavering love and hope.

The financial strain of being away from home, covering meals, and travel expenses is significant. Your generous support will alleviate these burdens, allowing them to focus entirely on Mateo's recovery.

Please join us in praying for Mateo’s healing and strength. We also ask for wisdom and guidance for the medical team caring for him. Your thoughts, prayers, and support mean the world to Mateo and his family during this challenging time.
