Dion was diagnosed AML two years ago. Last week he was given two months to live by his medical team.

Bay of Plenty

Life has thrown Dion, Rachel and five-year-old Sabastian a curve ball.

2 yrs ago Dion was diagnosed with an aggressive type of Acute Myeloid leukemia. He has

been having treatment since then and he has been unable to work, Rachel has been working hard to support the family financially .They have been living on a very limited budget.

Last year Dion had a successful bone marrow transplant.

Sadly leukemia has won out over Dion’s previously successful bone marrow transplant and limited treatment options are all that are available to him now.His medical team have estimated he now has only two months to live.

We all want to help in situations like this but often don't know how. Here is a solution for these three.

Rachel has taken some time off work so they can be together.

Please help to make the next few months a little less stressful by donating towards living and transport costs for the family or perhaps enabling them to make some amazing family memories by taking a trip or enjoying some NZ attractions.
