Fundraising for Help for Paul Chattington & his family

Wellington

Dad has terminal cancer which is in his spine, this has stopped him walking. He now must live in hospital level care at a rest home and mobilise in specially designed chairs.

This is a massive financial stress on my family, with no government funding available and all assets tied up in the house that my mum still has to live in.

Im hoping to raise $3000 to get Dad an electric wheelchair so he can enjoy his final days.

At the start of all this I said to Dad I would shave my hair off so we could be bald together, chemo wasn't a treatment option for Dad so if givjng my dad freedom isnt enough of a motivator if we reach $3000 I will be shaving off my mum bun and donating it!

Thank you soo much for your generous donations, we have purchased dad a fancy red electric wheelchair that he now uses in the rest home and to roam the streets.

Today my 4 year old helped Nana and Grandad shave my hair off! Grandad even got a colour treatment thanks to some hair chalk!

Thank you again for making Dads time he has left able to be had out in the fresh air.
