Raising Funds for Rauf’s Cancer Treatment
Siblings raising money for our mum’s husband’s cancer treatment.
Wellington
My mums husband Rauf has Cancer in his left Jaw (Carcinoma Left Buccal Mucossa). He needs money for his immunotherapy treatment, he has tried surgery, chemotherapy and radiation but these treatments have not had much positive effect. Immunotherapy is a final result to try and stop the disease from spreading.
He’s a really kind man who has made my mum incredibly happy the last few years, he’s only 55 and has so much life left in him, always happy and exploring!
Me and my 3 other siblings are trying to raise money any way we can to help with treatment costs as it is very expensive. Could you spare some change so we can reach our goal? We've seen what a community coming together looks like so I really do believe we have what it takes to raise some funds and help them pay for his treatment.
He has gone back to India for the time being with my mum. They are awaiting his visa for him to return. He will be starting treatment in India and then coming to continue it here in New Zealand.
We would be incredibly grateful for your support. Thank you for reading.
Use of funds
Any money raised will go towards paying for immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) treatments. The funds will be used to cover part of his treatment in India while he waits for his visa and then the rest will be used for his treatment when he comes back to New Zealand. If we cannot get his Visa sorted, treatment will continue in India.
