Young Family with Hard times ahead - Help us support them through a terminal diagnosis

Supporting a young family through a terminal diagnosis.

Auckland

A good friend of ours Haircut aka Craig was recently given some heartbreaking news.

His wife Kelly - mother to his two beautiful children Aidan and Isabella - was diagnosed just before Christmas with liver Cancer.

This diagnosis came just weeks after she was made redundant from her long term, full time employment which as you can imagine took a toll on their household income.

The latest doctors visit confirmed that the diagnosis is terminal. She has been given 12 months if she has chemo for which she is on a waiting list.

The point of this page is to raise funds to help make the next 12 months as comfortable as possible for this family.

We would love to be able to send his family on a holiday to create priceless memories for the two young children before Kelly’s health makes it impossible to travel. This will provide an opportunity to capture special moments for them to look back on forever.

If you would like to know more then please get in touch with me to discuss further.

Kind regards

A loving friend

I have known Craig for a couple of years now, he is head mechanic at one of the top bike shops in Auckland, a great father and loving husband that deserves an extra helping hand during what will be the most challenging year of his life

Use of funds

Provide a family holiday to create priceless memories for them along with a photo shoot to ensure to capture those memories any surplus will help towards the everyday costs involved with raising a young family on a sole income
