Bella’s Brain Tumour Battle

Join us in helping Bella Howard

Bella is a delightful and friendly seven year old girl.  She lives with her parents, sister Mia and grandma in beautiful Shoal Bay NSW.  

During April 2020 Bella was diagnosed with a highly aggressive brain tumour and was told she had just 3 months to live.   

Her parents, in desperation, launched a fundraising appeal with help from the community and were able to raise the funds needed for emergency life-saving surgery.   Dr Charlie Teo performed the surgery on her brain in May 2020.

With this intervention, Bella’s life was extended, however in August her parents were heartbroken to be told that it was no longer possible for medical aid to prolong her life.  

Bella will not be with us for very much longer - perhaps two months at most.  It is our wish to give Bella and her family memories to last beyond this page in their lives.  

All money raised will go towards an early treatment trial for Bella to slow this tumour down and forecast a longer life for her along with helping the family in practical ways through this difficult path and providing Bella with new experiences to brighten her final days.

Thank you for all your love, support and generosity in walking through Bella’s journey with us.   We need all the financial support in making a real difference to Bella’s treatment and quality of life. 

Please share this fundraiser far and wide, and as a community we will rally around this small child who is faced with greater battles than you or I could ever comprehend.
