Our little Island Princess — has been diagnosed with GCT (Germ Cell Tumours), a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Our beautiful niece — our little Island Princess — has been diagnosed with GCT (Germ Cell Tumours), a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

This diagnosis has turned her world, and her family’s world, upside down.

Right now, her parents’ only focus is being by her side — holding her hand through treatments, hospital stays, long days, and even longer nights. No parent should have to choose between caring for their child and worrying about how the bills will be paid.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial pressure on her parents so they can:

Be present with her during treatment

Manage everyday expenses while time off work is needed

Our Island Princess is incredibly brave. She is facing this fight with strength well beyond her years, surrounded by love, culture, and family. We want to wrap her parents in that same support — so they can focus on what matters most: their child.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word.

Thank you for standing with our whānau during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness, prayers, aroha, 'Ofa and support mean more than words can say.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
