This Give A Little page has been set up to help my family raise money to save my little brother's eye sight.
My brother Haapi is a talented rugby, touch and bball player, he's an awesome cousin and uncle, and just an all round good kid. Recently he was diagnosed with degenerative disease that affects his eyes. Haapi already has extensive damage to one eye and needs immediate laser surgery to HALT the progression. Allowing the disease could lead to my brother being left legally blind, which would be a devastating, given he's a talented kid with a massive future ahead of him.
We need $2,500 to get the worst eye done first, and then $2,500 shortly after to stop the other one from worsening. The whanau are doing other fundraisers to get the money together, but with all his medical expenses it has been difficult to keep up and save for these procedures which Haaps needs urgently to save his sight.
Any contribution whether its $5 or the change in your pocket will help my Dad and Stepmum out enormously.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for any donation you choose to make.

I love my little brother with all my heart, I want the world for him and all my siblings. I'm beyond devastated that my lil bro may not see his potential in joining the services, or even gain his independence through something as simple as not being eligible for his driver's licence should he be determined legally blind.
We've done it! 31 August 2015
Kia ora koutou ma
I just want to give a humongous thank you to everyone who has supported our cause. Whether you have given a little or a lot, please believe we have appreciated every effort.
We are humbled and overwhelmed by the success of the GiveALittle page, as well as other fundraising endeavours. Please know we are sincerely grateful.
With our other hugely successful fundraising efforts (a burpee mile and an iPhone raffle) we have totally smashed the $5000 required to fund both eye surgeries! We've even got enough to put into petrol and things to support the day surgeries.
Thank you again for everyone's donations. You have no idea how much it has meant to my family x
