Please support Isaac and his family on their Starship journey

Methven, Canterbury

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

Our hearts are broken.

Our amazing 12 year old Isaac has recently been diagnosed with a serious and life-threatening illness. He has now been transferred to Starship Hospital to continue his treatment.

His courageous mum, Kelly, and his beautiful little sister, Bella, will be spending the foreseeable future in Auckland. As a solo mother, Kelly has been Isaac’s advocate his whole life, and now, more than ever, she is by his side during this unimaginable time.

We want to support this family as much as possible and ease their financial worries so Kelly can focus entirely on Isaac’s care.

We are asking for donations to help Kelly with the ongoing costs of living, rent, and bills, as she is unable to work during this overwhelming time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference.

If you are able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, we would appreciate it if you could share this page to help spread the word.

We also understand that many of you may want to send messages of support. While Kelly deeply appreciates your kindness, we kindly ask that you refrain from personal messages at this time, as she is focused on navigating Isaac’s medical journey.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and support.

Thank you once again  9 June 2025

Posted by: Kelly Stanley

Just wanted to say another huge thank you to each and every one of you for your kindness in what can only be described as our living nightmare. This very special support will be vital to ensure that I can be with Isaac and keep our little family afloat as I navigate the cost of living, dwindling sick leave and the daily expenses associated with being away from home, for the days and months to come.

Isaac continues to fight with such courage and determination despite many challenges continuing to come at him throughout the brutal treatment.

From my sore Mumma heart, to all of you, thank you feels so insignificant yet - I truly do say it with immense gratitude and love.

With love,

Kelly, Isaac & Bella x
