Help Selena fight chronic kidney disease!

Otago

Selena was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney disease at a young age.

Within the last 12 months Selena has had multiple hospital admissions, emergency department visits and even ambulance rides. She has had 5 operations so far and there is still more to come!

Selena has had to bounce around the country to receive treatment - Including to Christchurch and Auckland.

She is now 2 years old and still fighting! Selena’s disease is progressing and she will need to travel to starship hospital in Auckland soon to receive dialysis.

We are raising money so that I can continue to support Selena in her fight - for us this means lots of time off work, lots of traveling around the country, and other medical related expenses.

Thank you for all of your support ❤️
