Supporting Howden's Dad...

$6,875 donated
Given by 48 generous donors since yesterday

Together, we can help Toby Ireland access the treatment he needs and stand beside him as he takes on the biggest fight of his life.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Hi all

At just 25 years old, Toby Ireland has been faced with a life-changing diagnosis: ocular melanoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer.

Anyone who knows him knows he's the kind of person who would do anything for those he cares about.

He has a huge passion for cars, loves spending time with his family, and absolutely adores his dog.

He's always been the one to lend a hand, share a laugh, and bring people together.

Following his diagnosis, Toby Ireland has been given the opportunity to receive specialised treatment in Liverpool that is currently not funded. This treatment offers hope, but it comes with significant costs, including travel, accommodation, medical expenses, and time away from work.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and the wider community to help ease the financial burden so he can focus on what matters most — his health and recovery.

No donation is too small, and every contribution will make a real difference. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Together, we can help Toby Ireland access the treatment he needs and stand beside him as he takes on the biggest fight of his life.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
