Please help us raise funds to help our sister get the treatment she needs to manage her rare type of cancer, and spread our sister's story.

Nationwide

Our sister Julia Sione is a 32 year old mother of 3. Devante age 11, Deja age 10 and Jaydah age 3 and loving partner to Geoffry Matasifa. Juls and her kids have suffered tragedy in this life time already when Geoff Makapa, father to Devante and Deja,was sadly taken from them in a freak accident at his place of work in 2006.

Julia was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in her left vaginal wall which eventually spread to her upper spine and arm, and has been undergoing treatment, unfortunately the treatment was not as successful as we hoped and the cancer has recently spread down her spine. unfortunately New Zealand doctors have done all that they can/wiling to do. But our sister is not giving up and neither are we. There are other options over seas using advanced technology that NZ do not have yet, but this comes at a great cost of $20,000 nzd per treatment and she has been told she would need 3 sessions to shrink the tumors and buy her a lot more years to watch her kids grow without being in pain. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to send her and her family overseas to get the treatment that will save her life.

The treatment that she will need is called Next Generation PDT Laser Treatment, you can find information about it online and there are videos on youtube if you wish to look further into it.

So we as her family and friends are reaching out to all those we can to take the time to hear her story and feel the love that we have for her and if you are able donate towards our cause.

Julia is a beautiful, caring and very giving woman that still has a lot to offer this world. She has forever put others before herself often going without so that others have what they need. This is our time to show her how much we need her in this world and give her kids their mother for a lot longer.

Please help us save our sister by donating or spreading the word. We are reaching out as a last resort and will be setting up events, we intend to do all we can and more.

Thank you for taking time to read this.
