Support for our beautiful brother, Aaron!

As many of you know, our brother Aaron has been living with an undiagnosed blood disease for the past 6 years, with no known cure. His bone marrow is failing, resulting in him requiring weekly blood transfusions to stay alive, constant medication and frustration that there is still no answers about his condition.

Just before Christmas, Aaron was told that his body is no longer tolerating the transfusions which will eventually lead to organ failure, and we have been told he is now left with no choice but to receive a Bone Marrow Transplant in the coming months. This transplant is crucial as unfortunately Aaron’s illness will eventually become fatal to him without it. Thankfully, Shayna is a perfect match to be his donor, meaning Aaron has the best possible odds for a successful and speedy recovery!

Aaron and his partner Chelsea are both having to leave their jobs and lives in Gladstone to move to Brisbane for the transplant and ongoing treatment, leaving them both without any guaranteed income for months, and in Aaron’s case could be out of work for the better part of a year depending on his recovery.

We have decided to get together a go fund me to help financially support Aaron & Chelsea with everyday bills, medical expenses, accommodation and other unforeseen expenses that may arise during this time.

All of your love and support doesn’t go unnoticed, any donation big or small will be a massive help.

Lifeblood is a foundation that Aaron and Chelsea hold close to their heart and encourage anyone who is unable to donate financially to please donate blood at their local blood bank.

We sincerely thank everyone for their generosity, love and support during this difficult time!

Sam & Shayna
