Christine Main needs your help!

$23,213 donated

Given by 224 generous donors in one year

On 15/02/12 Christine suffered from a major unexplained stroke at only 32, leaving her left side paralysed, turning her world upside down.

Nationwide

Christine requires immediate chemotherapy treatment in the hopes of containing the rapid growth and spread of the cancer. The most effective Chemotherapy for the condition that Christine has is not government funded, so we are seeking support in the form of monetary donations to raise the $24,000 required for the 6 months treatment lying ahead.

Enter details of your update here Hi everyone. Its with sadness that I inform you that Christine died in my arms on April 24, 2013. Her treatment stopped working after a very positive 6 months. Karen and I would like to thank you all very much for your past assistance in helping all of us have this extra time with Christine, and her with us. Christine has been able to give sight through donation to 2 people, and this is an amazing gift from her. Moving forward, Christine's vision was to help Young Stroke victims and also the Cancer Ward at Auckland Hospital. We appreciate any donations, and these will be gratefully passed on. Thank you all once again - Trish (Christine's momma)

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
