Support Sam Clarke: Our Brave Little Fighter

With heavy hearts and a strong sense of hope we share the story of little Sam. Sam, a spirited five-year-old from Thames, has recently been diagnosed with Leukaemia. This diagnosis has turned her world upside down, taking her away from the joys of her first year at school and the familiar comforts of her hometown. Sam is currently undergoing intensive treatment at Starship Hospital in Auckland, where she will spend the next six weeks bravely fighting her illness.

As Sam embarks on this journey she faces not only the physical and emotional toll of leukaemia but also the disruption of her young life. Following her initial treatment at Starship, Sam will spend the next nine months out of school. Every week, she and her dedicated parents will travel to Waikato/Auckland Hospital for crucial chemotherapy sessions.

We are creating this Givealittle page to rally support for Sam and her family during this time. The financial burden of travel, medical expenses, and the additional care Sam requires is immense. Generous contributions will help alleviate some of these pressures, allowing Sam’s parents to focus on what matters most – supporting their brave girl as she fights this battle. Every donation, big or small, will make a significant difference in Sam’s journey to recovery. Thank you for standing with Sam and helping us bring hope and healing to her and her family.

Our thoughts are with Lisa McGilvray, Steve Clarke, Armanii Parata, Joe Clarke and of course Sam Clarke through this time!
