Chanelle's Cancer Journey

$1,300 donated
Given by 28 generous donors in around 6 months

Support and uplift Chanelle through this difficult time with Cancer, and all the mental, physical and financial implicatons of this.

Silverstream, Upper Hutt

In February 2024 a mass was found in Chanelle's chest. Early April, this was diagnosed as Hodgkins lymphoma.

While this generally has good survival outcomes, anxiety is a significant barrier to the progress of treatment at this stage.

Chanelle has had to cancel public speaking engagements and hasn't managed to work much since they got their diagnosis due to severe anxiety, depression, and having low levels of energy. This has been upsetting as they love the work they do.

They have a long journey ahead of them even if they get through all of the chemo treatments.

Chanelle has helped thousands of people all over the world with their books 'I am autistic' and 'This is ADHD', aswell as the work they have done in advocating for the neurodivergent community.

A few people have asked if they can send gifts or koha in support, so we have set this up as one way for to do this, and to show Chanelle they are not alone, in the same way they have done for this community.

Please do not feel pressured to donate, this is just here for anyone who wants to support in some way but may not know how. This will also go towards buying rewards like lego or things Chanelle likes that make them feel a little bit better but unfortunately come with a bit of a price tag.

You can also support buy purchasing either of their books from almost any bookstore ('I am autistic' and 'This is ADHD'), or leaving a supportive message on their social media (instagram linked)

Ruth Taylor's involvement (page creator)

I am a friend of Chanelles, but Chanelles books have positively impacted me, like I know they have done for others too.

Use of funds

Generally will be used to support the purchace of things like lego, or Lucy and yak, or things that are comforting through treatment. But will otherwise act to fill the financial implications of having cancer and not having the capacity to work as much.

Positive update   14 June 2024

Kia Ora all, as some of you may know Chanelle recently had a scan done to see if the Chemo is working. Chanelle has since received the results which were overwhelmingly positive! The tumour has shrunken significantly, and Chanelle is responding well to chemo. Treatment will still be continuing as planned in hopes that it is curative. We continue to appreciate all of the support in the various capacities ( such as donations and messages) , it really does make things a little bit more manageable!

Thank you!

(Ruth- on behalf of Chanelle )
