Help me fundrise to support Reggie and the Tejada family

$1,850 donated
Given by 45 generous donors in around 12 months

In Jan 2015 Reggie Tejada was diagnosed with Terminal Oesophageal cancer. Please help me give a little to people who have given their all.

Auckland

Reggie Tejada is an amazing father of 3 beautiful children, loving husband of Helen Tejada and a caring friend to many. Coming into the new year (2015) early January, Reggie was diagnosed with Terminal Oesophageal Cancer. Having a 14mm tumour in his oesophagus that is incurable and cant be taken out, giving him only 5months of life left.

Attending numerous treatments of radiation and chemotherapy, keeping faith and fighting for his life Reggie has made it another year and still fighting.

Unfortunately, just recently we have just found out that he has been given another 4 months as the tumour has grown. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for this family, they have stayed strong for one another and shown so much love not only to one another but everyone around them and they deserve nothing but support, love and good things their way.

Although i have only been around for afew months they have given me nothing but love, care, laughters, memories i will cherish forever and another family i will appreciate forever. The funds will go towards helping the family with day to day things and just general support as Reggie can no longer work and Helen is home with him during the day also. Especially coming into the new year, so anything and everything is greatly appreciated.

Please take the time to read and continue to pray for a miracle. God bless and thank you for your time.

Im involved because I believe everyone in life deserves a chance. Cancer has taken many loved ones from me and my family so i know how it feels to go through this. This family(my second family) are the most giving, caring, loving and genuine people I know, so why not back to people who give so much.

God Bless

Yesterday at 3.30pm Reggie lost his fight with cancer due to a complication causing him to get pneumonia. This is a big loss for all of our family and its all very hard to comprehend at the moment. But wed like to thank everyone thats gone out of their way to show support and help. Our family greatly appreciates it. Sorry that we havnt gotten back to everyone, we will in time. Dads one wish while he was still in hospital was to come home and today he finally is. If you would like to come over and see him and the family you are more welcome to. Tonight is just for the family to bond together. You can come over to home Saturday , Sunday and Monday at the times of 10am-12pm , 2pm-5pm, 7pm-8.30pm and the funeral service will take place on Tuesday 17 May at 1pm-2pm at First presbyterian church, across from the KFC Papakura lights. Refreshments will follow till 3.30pm. Dads cremation will be in Mangere and to be witnessed and attended by family only.

And lastly, Reggies wish was to get cremated the day after to save with costs, but we have decided as a family to do this to make things easier for us. In saying that we didnt have funeral insurance so its coming out of Reggies savings that he left for us to go on a holiday . Were not begging you guys for money but even as little as 10 dollars donated to my dads give a little page would go the long way. And to those that have donated dad is so greatful for everything hell be pinching my ear asking for help cause he always does the helping.

Thanks again much love from me and the family if you need the address to home please message us or text 0210428769
