After 10 surgeries Archie is now preparing for another major milestone

Macraes, Otago

Hi friends and family,

Archie is about to undergo another major surgery — his 10th operation — to close his stoma and reconnect his bowel after everything he has been through already. This surgery is a huge step in his journey and will hopefully mean he can move forward without needing his stoma bag anymore.

The funds raised will help cover travel, accommodation, time off work to care for Archie during recovery, ongoing specialist appointments, and the extra support he will need after surgery. Every donation helps ease the pressure on our family while we focus on helping Archie heal. ❤️

A stoma closure (also called an colostomy reversal) reconnects the bowel so waste can pass normally again.

Your kindness and generosity mean the world and will make a real difference during this time. Thank you for being part of Archie’s support team!

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
