Jorjas leukaemia story
Bluff, Southland
Jorja is 3 years old turning 4 on Wednesday.last Monday Jorja was diagnosed with leukaemia which absolutely knocked the wind out of her poor mum and dad who took her to the doctor for a simple check up . In the last week Jorja has had surgery and 2 lots of chemotherapy already . But Jorja has been such a brave wee girl and smiling through most of it .Jorjas mum and dad my brother Arron and his wife Bec are currently running their own property maintenance business where Arron does all the handy work and Bec does all the admin .I wanted to start this page for them as Jorja is going to be in and out of hospital having her treatment for the next 2 and a half to 3 years . The funds will go towards making Jorjas days a little bit brighter and alleviate some of that financial worry for mum and dad who have 2 other children at home to look after also .
Jorja is my niece and her dad is my brother. As they live in Australia, I will receive the funds on their behalf in the first instance before sending to them.
It will help mum and dad be able to both be there for Jorja for her treatment over the next 2.5 to 3 years and it will help some of jorjas dark days a little bit brighter. Funds will be used for general living expenses so they don’t need to work as much while Jorja is having her treatment
Jorjas update 29 April 2024
So it’s been a month since jorjas diagnosis and she has only been able to be home 3 or 4 days in that month . Her body is reacting badly to her chemotherapy with her blood sugar going up and down all the time , she had her second bone marrow test and a lumbar puncture a couple of days ago and it resulted in her lung collapsing and she ended up in icu on 24 hour watch and under sedation. Since then exrays show that her lung is healing but now she has really low blood pressure and blood in her urine .Please keep praying for Jorja and her family all your support means the world to them ❤️
