A Melbourne man battling terminal cancer and his heavily pregnant fiancée stranded overseas have been given $50,000 to fly home after a wealthy benefactor offered to pay for their flights. 9News
Mr Morrow, 34, said the donation meant they no longer had to rely on their online fundraiser to raise the miracle money to return home before his fiancée gave birth to their third child.
"There is no words for it. Everyone's been so generous trying to get me here, to get the treatment and then we had a GoFundMe page," he said.Friends and family raised more than $60,000 on a crowdfunding page for the treatment at the Hope4Cancer centre in Cancun, in the hope the 34-year-old could spend more time with his young family.Mr Morrow today revealed he has responded positively to the cancer treatment, which was a specialist natural alternative to chemotherapy.
The couple now look forward to being reunited with their two daughters, who are seven and 12, in Melbourne. "The last half a week has been tears every single night. It has been really difficult," Ms Paton said. "Explaining to them we didn't know when we were going to get home was really hard. They took that really hard.
