Wondermums Community Support Project - Noah!

As you may be aware, as a Wondermums group, we are trying to raise money for a little boy named Noah with Leukemia. The thing is, that although we don't know a whole lot about this boy or his family, we do know that they are struggling with this illness and with life right now. Noah is 10 years old and attends a local Manurewa primary school. His family are not well off and are coping with frequent hospital trips for treatment and the like. Noah is loosing his hair and finding it difficult to cope with this socially.
I just can't imagine the pain and emotions that accompany a family who must cope with such an illness as this in one of their children. As a new-ish mum i already know what i feel when my daughter is sick, lethargic and in mild pain! So my heart goes out to Noah and his mum and dad who are dealing with much much more daily.
In a recent email I sent out i gave the opportunity for people to give money towards purchasing the family a new in-ear thermometer. However they are recently been informed by their doctor that unless they are specifically trained in the use of these then they can often give inaccurate readings! Soo we will be giving some more thought as to how to best use the money given for Noah. We will keep you informed, but please be assured that this money given will bless a family in need and show that we care and want to support them with their pain.

Thank you so so much for the amount given so far! We will keep you updated and if you would like any more information please feel free to contact me (Ruth). My email address is ruthbeale.nz@gmail.com.
