Adam's surgery is scheduled for May, and we want to help!

Wellington

Adam has been carrying around his little friend for several months now. Being unable to breathe through his right nostril has meant that he's unable to live life to the fullest - no running, swimming or playing footy! Adam being Adam has just got on with it, patiently waiting for his call up to surgery... or on hold awaiting an update.

Unfortunately, the procedure has not been deemed "urgent" - meaning that the removal could be months and months away in the public system. Adam does not have private health insurance, so the decision to self-fund the surgery has not come lightly for him and his whānau. Alas - the call has been made and the surgery booked for mid-May. Woohoo!

As his colleagues, we have been asking if there's anything we can do to help... so now is your chance. A small contribution to Adam's surgery is very much appreciated. Think of it as an advance on a few coffees or beers out :)

(Note from Amanda - as his Manager, I am making sure our organisation does all it can to help him. This page is for the work whānau to contribute financially to the cause)
