Help support a young family
Donation protected
My name is Kristie, i have 2 children that have been attending Goodstart Early Learning Hendra, my eldest has been there for 3 years.
Over the years my family have been very fortunate to have Darren (Mr Darren) a part of our day to day life through the week and having the complete confidence to hand our children over to him.
A couple of weeks back all of Goodstart families received an email asking to keep Darren and his family in our thoughts while his Wife Kristy tackles a major health issue, my heart automatically sunk for them.
I asked Darren if he would mind sharing their story.
My wife Kristy, found a lump in her upper clavicle on right side near her shoulder, when we had biopsy done it was found to be metastasis, cancer.
Metastasis cancer cells break away from where they first formed (primarycancer), travel through the blood or lymph system, and form new tumors.
We were then sent for all types of tests CT,MRI, Bone Scans, this found the even more devastating outcome of two small lumps in right breast and in Lymph node under right armpit.
As Kristy works in the childcare industry as well, we were advised for her not to work until further notice, to reduce the chance of her getting sick , due to low immunity.
On the 11th March we will undertake our first aggressive Chemotherapy treatment, which will last for approximately 18 weeks, with ongoing medical treatment for a 12 month period.
Our oncologist has said we are treating for cure.
This is a fight that Kristy will win. with all of our love, support and prayers.
Thank you
Darren and Tristan
With Kristy unable to work and Darren having to take time off when needed to support and care for his Wife and little boy Tristan they face financial hardship in the months to come.
Darren & Kristy both being childcare educaters have touched the hearts of so many families that i thought it was time to rally together as a community and help them make this journey of treatment and recovery that little bit easier.
I understand that everyone of us has different financial situations even $5 to put towards medical expenses, bills, raising a little boy and groceries i think would go a long way and be very appreciated
