Because Marcelo's work visa is valid for one year, the treatment is not funded by the NZ government. His family in Brazil can't afford to pay for the treatment, putting his wife - his only family in NZ - who works at a cafe in need of your help.
We estimate his treatment will cost us around $80k.

Thanks for all the donations! Marcelo and his wife went back to Brazil to continue the treatment closer to his family. He is continuing getting weekly treatment. His speech is still very affected. He speaks very few words. Walk has improved and now he uses only a cane. The right arm continues with small movements. We are still fundraising to pay the NZ$87000 bill from Auckland and North Shore hospitals. The latest fundraising act is a party we are promoting at Juice Bar on the 11th of April from 9PM. There will be 3 bands that Marcelo played with and 1 DJ helping to put this party together. It will be a fun night and I hope to see everyone there! Door will charge a minimum donation of $5 and we will have raffles on the night. Juice Bar is at 144 Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland. Check the flyer out
