Help Support Christelle in Her Fight Against Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

On Friday, March 28th, 2025, our world was turned upside down when my mother, Christelle, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer called Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer. This cancer accounts for only 1-2% of thyroid cancer cases but is responsible for a significant percentage of thyroid cancer-related deaths. It is not only rare but also extremely difficult to treat, and her doctor has informed her that she only has months left to live.

At just 52 years young, my mother is facing an overwhelming battle. As you can imagine, she is filled with fear and uncertainty, not knowing if she has days, weeks, or just a few months left with us. She is not ready to leave her children, grandchildren, and the many people who love her. Every moment is precious, and we are doing everything we can to be by her side during this difficult time.

In the midst of this crisis, my family is also facing financial stress. Just two months ago, my parents bought their first home in Mangawhai, using most of their savings and Kiwisaver. Now, as she is expected to be out of work for an extended period while undergoing treatment, we are reaching out for help.

The funds raised from this campaign will provide much-needed financial relief for my parents during this challenging time. The last thing my mother should worry about is finances, and with your support, we can ease that burden so she can focus on what matters most: her health and well-being.
