Uphold Ali Selliman during this tough time

Hamilton, Waikato

Kia Ora Tatou

I'm creating this page for one of my oldest and dearest friends, Alister Agan Selliman, known to most as Ali, who is currently in Malaysia waiting to undergo treatment after being diagnosed with a serious tumour.

For the past year, Ali has been feeling increasingly unwell. After travelling to his motherland Malaysia to see their family doctor, he received the news no one wants to hear - a large tumour has been found in his intestines, close to his liver.

Doctors are now discussing chemotherapy and surgery. As of today Ali has found a surgeon and talks of the earliest possible operation are underway. Because of how serious the situation is, Ali may need to remain overseas for several months while he goes through treatment and recovery.

Ali is a well known figure in the Hamilton community. A gifted artist adorning our streets with beautiful murals. A talented Tattoo Artist and Co-owner of Holiday Tattoo. He's the kind of person who gives a lot to others, the first to show up for friends and community and never one to ask for help himself.

He is also a father and proud grandfather to 2 beautiful grand daughters who mean the world to him, and being away from his family during this time is extremely hard.

Facing cancer treatment overseas brings huge costs and loss of income - we want to ease the burden so Ali can focus on overcoming this.

Any donation would mean the world. Please share around too.

Lets stand beside Ali and help him get home healthy.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
