Supporting Chloe Kirkham & Family During Her Leukemia Journey
Help Chloe's Parents be able to stay by her side during her Leukemia Journey.
Northland
In the early hours of 31 January, Chloe Kirkham, just 2 years and 3 months old, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In a matter of hours, her parents’ world changed.
Chloe is a happy, easy-going toddler who brings smiles to everyone around her with her cheeky personality and strong will. She always knows what she wants, and nobody can tell her otherwise.
Chloe was urgently transferred to Starship Hospital in Auckland, arriving by helicopter on Saturday morning, where she is now under the care of an incredible team of doctors and nurses. Everything has moved very quickly, and the family is taking things one day at a time as Chloe begins her treatment journey.
Chloe’s parents, Samii and Tom Kirkham have had to put work on hold so they can remain by her side. This has meant being away from home, relying on others to care for their pets, and managing household responsibilities from afar. Adding to this, Chloe’s mum Samii is three months pregnant, preparing to welcome their second child during an already overwhelming time.
This page has been created because many friends, family members, and people in the wider community have asked how they can help. Chloe’s family has not asked for financial support and is not expecting anything but for those who wish to help, this is a way to offer practical support and ease some of the pressure.
The intention is simply to remove some of the financial stress, allowing Chloe’s parents to focus fully on her care and wellbeing.

Chloe update 🧡
We have had a pretty rough week, Chloe has been pretty unhappy and unwell since Friday last week.
Ranging from a bad reaction to a med to spiked temperatures and struggling to get food and liquid into her we are now on our second ED trip within the week.
Chloe was in Auckland at Ronald Mac from Friday to Wednesday as they wanted to keep her closer to the hospital, this included a trip to the ED down there on Sunday night, Chloe finally came home Wednesday night but we are now on the children's ward in Whangarei likely for atleast the weekend after heading back in at 3:30am with a spiked temp and a very unhappy little girl.
She is doing ok and is where she needs to be but it has been a bit of a change for us with her handling everything so well until now, we knew these times would come but it doesn't make them any easier, especially now juggling work and wanting to be there for Chloe as much as I can.
Tom Kirkham has been a super star Dad with her all week and now its my turn while he is away for most of the long weekend.
We are told this is all totally normal and to be expected, just part of the roller coaster.
This side of it is alot harder than when she is doing well and definitely much harder to share and talk about but we want to share the bad too, not just when she's good.
Lacking sleep this weekend/week already so please don't be offended if I don't respond or seem my bubbly self.🥰
Thankyou for all the love and support
