Fundraiser for aggressive Breast Cancer

Auckland

This for our work colleague and friend Donna

Who is a single mother of 3

Has the most beautiful nature and outgoing personality

We are raising money for Donna during this most stressful time in her life.

With no insurance, unable to work , earn income coming in for over 8 MThs while she is hospitalised, having surgery, tests and recovery and physio chemo and radiation. Donna has had surgery; a double mastectomy, and then trying to overcome the devastating news of the cancer coming back and has spread to the lymph nodes.

Funding will pay for a Gene expression profiling test (https://www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz/breast-cancer/tests-and-diagnosis/gene-expression-profiling) which is unfunded in New Zealand.

Also, high dose Vitamin C infusions with immune-boosting properties to help heal. Vitamin C also protects the DNA of the cells inside your body from damage.

Thank you making time to look at our fundraiser and anything will help Donna get through this process.

We understand that times are tough for everyone, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide no matter the amount. If you're unable to donate, your thoughts, prayers, good vibes and well wishes will be very much appreciated! Sharing this campaign within your social network can and will also make a significant difference helping Donna and her family. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Let’s make things smooth for Donna to go through this huge change in her life 💜

Update message from Donna 🩷  24 April 2024

Had second surgery last night. Once the infection is all cleared and I’m healed, I start chemo for three months. Had long hair my whole life so that’s gonna be fun lol. My oncologist said his calculations showed I didn’t need chemo. I borrowed money from bank to pay for an expensive test that uses my own tumor to do gene profiling. This showed one of the tumours (I have two different types of breast cancers - one in each) is aggressive and likely to come back within five years maybe into another area which is untreatable. So although I hate the thought of chemo it is needed damn it. Edit: thank you each and everyone for your message. I love and appreciate each one of you.🩷🩷🩷
