Brenda's Battle For Recovery: Help Fund Her Life-Saving Cancer Treatment

Brenda Johnson, a devoted mother of 4, has been facing the battle of her life since being diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. It has spread to her lung and liver. Brenda’s journey has been marked by resilience and courage, despite numerous setbacks.

The road to diagnosis was long and difficult, seeking answers from medical providers but left with frustration when met with no answers. The symptoms continued to get more severe, then a colonoscopy finally revealed cancer months down the track. Valuable time lost.

In April of last year, Brenda began treatment. An incident during chemotherapy resulted in the treatment entering her tissue instead of her vein. This experience left Brenda with PTSD, making it incredibly hard to continue with the chemotherapy.

Brenda’s oncology team has recommended a course of Avastin alongside the chemotherapy she has resumed. This treatment is unfunded in New Zealand - costing $5,000 per session (plus expenses), but offers her the best chance of recovery.

The financial burden of this pathway is overwhelming. Your support can make a profound difference in Brenda's life. She has faced the loss of one of her sons, her remaining children & 2 mokos need her to succeed in this fight. By contributing, you can give Brenda the opportunity to be there for her family. Every donation counts. Please consider donating today and sharing her story. Your generosity means the world to Brenda & her family, providing them with hope and strength during this time.
