Support 2y/o Zander and his Fight with Cancer!

$3,023 donated
Given by 47 generous donors in 7 weeks

This money will be going towards supporting the Allendale family of 7, through 2 year old Zander's fight with cancer.

Christchurch, Canterbury

On Wednesday 15th June 2022 Shay and Asia received the most heartbreaking news a parent could ever dream of. Their darling son Zander was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (A.L.L) at a young age of 2 💔

In the two weeks since diagnosis, Zander has been in hospital and already put through 3 blood transfusions, 3 platelet transfusions, 2 procedures under general anesthetic, 2 chemo treatments, many tears, screams and a few too many YouTube videos.

Unfortunately this is only the beginning of their journey ahead.

Zander is going to be undergoing chemotherapy treatment 3x a week with also many overnight stays in hospital. Shay and Asia have 5 young children this is also going to have a large impact on.

Shay will be having his luscious golden locks shaved off in support of his son who will be loosing his gorgeous hair too 💇🏼

Thanks for reading, we look forward to hearing from you in hope we can raise some funds to support Shay and his family in best way we can.
