    Kia ora e te whānau,

    Today dad received the results regarding his chemo treatment. Today was a particularly crucial day for results and the scan he had done, determined whether or not the chemo is working and whether or not dad should continue with treatment.

    I am delighted to say that although we are not out of the woods, the CHEMO IS WORKING! The lesions of cancer on dad's stomach lining HAVE SHRUNK. By how much I do not know, but this is a great indication that the chemo is doing its job and is slowly killing the cancer. AMEN!

    This scan has been weighing heavy on our whānau since dad was diagnosed. These positive results are the hope and light that we all needed to keep us fighting hard.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported dad and continues to do so. Your love, prayers, positive thoughts and donations have given dad a fighting chance.

    Thank you to those who continue to donate to dad. This is extremely helpful as the cost of chemo has recently gone up and ofcourse because the chemo is working, he will be most definitely need more funds to continue the ongoing chemo and treatment.

    Thank you thank you thank from the bottom of our hearts to all of you ❤️

    Kia ora e te whānau, we are so amazed and humbled that in four days we are already nearly at our goal. This means that once we hit the $15,000 goal we will be shaving our heads, it has happend so much sooner than we ever expected and we are so grateful for that. Any funds that we receive beyond our goal will go directly towards ensuring dad has everything he needs to make chemo and life as peaceful and comfortable as possible and any other medical treatments that may arise on this journey as we are willing to try anything and everything that may help heal him. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so appreciative of your support. I know that having this tribe of people backing dad is truly giving him and us the strength we so desperately need to get through this.

    (The picture attached is of my dad dipping his rosary cross into the purest, holy, healing water which came from France where the virgin Mary has been cited many times. Massive thanks to my aunty for making this magic happen)

    From the Howard's to all of you, thank you deeply, we love every single one of you. Keep up the prayers and healing thoughts and let's anialate this horrible cancer together.

    ❤️
