Assistance with costs for a life-saving alternative treatment

Wakefield, Tasman

Leeanne has always been a fighter, someone who met life’s challenges with quiet determination. But nothing could have prepared us for the news that shattered the fragile hope we’d been clinging to: metastatic melanoma has invaded both her lungs. One tumor has grown at alarming rate , pressing against her aorta, threatening the very rhythm of her life. Every breath is a reminder of how fragile time had become.

we have tried every possible treatment, exploring holistic and alternative therapies, desperate for a miracle. THC had been our first hope, a light we thought might guide us through the darkness—but it had failed. Now, the clock is ticking faster, and the fight has taken on a new urgency. We scoured the world for solutions, reaching out to specialists, researching innovative therapies, and seeking support. Costs loomed large, but the price of hope was one we were determined to pay. Each passing day is a delicate balancing act between fear and determination, despair and hope.

In the midst of this storm, Leeanne’s spirit remains unbroken. We are ready to pull together every resource, every connection, every ounce of energy—to give her a fighting chance. We refused to surrender, refusing to accept that this was the end.

This is our last rush, the final surge of hope before the unknown. Every moment matters. Every heartbeat matters. And in the face of fear, we will fight for Leeanne’s life, for every day we could still share with her, no matter the odds.
