Cancer Battle - Best chance to have own Whānau

Wairoa, Hawke's Bay

My friend who has worked in her profession for the past 20yrs has left her career to study in the hopes of chasing her ultimate dream.

She was gearing up for her last year of study this year when she was told she had breast cancer.

As devastating as it was to hear this, it was even more heartbreaking as she has hope of having her own whanau one day and wants to give her life the best opportunity to do so with a privately funded drug (that she has to personally pay for) to help her beat this battle.

She needs 5x rounds of this privately funded drug (Pertuzumab) at the cost of $5000 each round.

As she left her job to study, she is on the benefit which isn’t no where near enough to help cover the cost of each round.

This drug will give her the best chance to be able to have her own whanau one day and live her life at a young age.
