Mellissa Thenius is in desperate need of financial assistance for herself and her family.

She wants to make a trip to Cape Town to say her last goodbyes to her dad, who sadly is battling stage 4 Cancer. 

Mellissa has been advised by his doctor that he should be surrounded by family as he doesn’t have much time left.
