A Filipino worker been here in NZ for only 3 months diagnose with Chronic Myeloid leukeamia needs our support.

Auckland

He is working in NZ with a 3-year work visa which makes him legible to get government funding. However, his wife back home in the Philippines is 8 months pregnant of their 4th baby and the 3 older children - ages 14, 16 and 17, are all needing financial support for their high school studies. Currently, his agency in the Philippines is working on sending a sibling to NZ to support Oliver and this sibling will also need financial support to survive while in NZ. So, we're appealing to anyone to help us raise funds for Oliver's family while he is going through this ordeal at Auckland district hospital. He's currently going through chemotherapy and a possible bone marrow transplant if he's body responds well to the chemo.

Let's also pray that God would do a miracle for Oliver's healing and that he would be free from any complications.

Those wishing to visit him, he's at room 6, Motutapu ward 11.

Thanks a lot.

Oliver is now with our Heavenly Father  11 August 2017

To all Oliver's supporters:

It is with deep sadness to let you all know that Oliver joined our Creator early this morning 5:10 AM, 11th Aug 2017 at Auckland hospital's Critical Care Unit. He passed on peacefully with 2 staff from Working In Resourcing and his employer at his bedside and all his family members on facetime video.

His employer is now making arrangements with funeral services for his body to be taken to the Philippines. We will keep you posted here of this arrangements.

For this reason, we are changing the bank account your donations will be deposited to our organization's account so we can facilitated quick transfer of this money to his family in the Philippines to assist with funeral expenses and any other related expenses.

We would appreciate more support coming in to support the family as a new baby is on its way and the 3 older children are all studying. We will be posting remittance receipts here every time we send funds to the family.

Thank you very much for your continued prayers and support for the family.
