Help brave 4 year old Kyrie as he battles his brain tumors/cancer. Your support relieves any financial burden during this challenging time.

Auckland

Kyrie, a brave young boy, is currently facing the toughest battle of his life.

Over the past ten weeks, Kyrie has been battling severe illness, resulting in numerous doctor visits and hospital stays. Just last week, the devastating news was delivered that Kyrie has rare - aggressive brain tumors/cancer throughout his head and spine. Since the diagnosis, Kyrie has had to have one emergency surgery and one surgery to help him try to defeat the odds. At only four years old, his parents are doing everything they can to give him the best fighting chance. Kyrie is an incredibly strong and resilient boy, demonstrating his unwavering determination.

Nicole, Kyrie's devoted mother, had to give up her job, which she had only recently started, in order to be there for her son and provide him with the care he needs. It is crucial for her to be able to support her other two daughters as-well. While she stays in starship and her other two children live outside of Auckland.

Adding to the family's hardships, Kyrie's father, Michael, is also dealing with his own health struggles. They have endured an incredibly tough year, with the past week being particularly overwhelming.

As they face a long and uncertain road ahead, relieving them of any financial pressures would make a tremendous difference. They are currently unsure of what the future holds, and supporting them financially would greatly alleviate any additional burden during this difficult period.
