Caring for Carol - we need your help

Fundraiser for 58 year old mother who is terminal ill with untreatable cancer.

Taranaki

Our beautiful mother, Carol, who is just 58 years old, has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. This shocking news has been a heavy blow to all of us. Carol has faced many challenges throughout her life but has always given generously to her community, spreading joy and selflessly helping others, even if it meant giving away her last dollar. With her infectious smile and unwavering spirit she has touched the lives of so many, and now she needs our help more than ever.

Due to her sudden diagnosis and rapid decline, Carol has had to stop working but still remains resilient, positive and determined to make the most of the time she has left. We are doing everything we can to ensure she receives the best possible medical attention and comfort during this difficult journey, but we cannot do it alone.

Before her diagnosis, Carol was working on building a tiny home for her sick older brother, a project that has now come to a halt. This home was meant to provide him with a place to live with her so he wouldn't be alone.

The funds raised here will go directly towards ensuring she is as comfortable as possible during her remaining time with us.

We understand that times are tough for everyone, so any donation, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated. Additionally please consider sharing this campaign with your network to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for your generosity and support during this difficult time.
