Update: 19th June 2018,

Sadly last night at 10.07pm Monday the 18th of June Baby Leo passed away peacefully in Mummy and Daddy’s arms.

All donations now will go towards baby Leo’s funeral.

A few words from Mamma Elecia:

This is a very hard time for us, and right now we’re taking each day as it comes. This has been the most hardest 11 days we have ever experienced in our life time, iv never felt so much pain and heart broken and I will never understand why this happened. but we were forever grateful that we got to spend 5 days with our baby Leo but heaven needed you more and it breaks my heart that we won’t be able to hold you in our arms once more, but no matter what you will always have a place in our heart ❤️ you were a fighter Leo the Lion and we love you so so much! RIP my baby boy, Mummy misses you xoxox

Leo Ray McFarlane was born on 13 June 2018 at 1.14pm with a Rare Vascular Tumour at Auckland Central Hospital. Until a biopsy can be performed on the tumour the medical team are of the opinion that the type of tumour is known as KHE. As a result of the tumour, Leo has hydrops and an enlarged heart. Leo is in a stable but serious condition.

2% Effective Fee
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.
