Our friend, Jason, has in the space of only a few weeks had his life completely turned upside down.

As friends of Jason, we have established this fundraiser, and are calling on people who know Jason to contribute to help and support Jason and family.

The situation: Late in January, Jason had a scan that detected a brain tumour, and shortly afterwards in early February, Jason had surgery to remove the tumour. During the surgery, Jason suffered a stroke. As a result of the stroke, he needs to re-learn how to move his right side, and, although he can understand spoken language, he also needs to learn how to speak again.

Further bad news came in the form of the discovery that Jason's tumour was cancerous, and had spread to his brain from his lungs. This greatly complicates his path forward.

Jason and his family live quite far away from the hospital where he is receiving care. Jason's wife, Naomi, is spending long days travelling to see him, while still looking after their house, and their son. She is incurring a lot of additional expenses through things like fuel, dining out, and other incidentals. These costs will be ongoing, as Jason will require care and support for the foreseeable future.

Your much appreciated donation will provide Jason's family some relief and help during a difficult time in their lives.

Thank you.
