Deb is shaving to raise funds for Maria

"Shaving my head in solidarity and raising funds to help Maria and her family through her breast cancer journey."

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Our beautiful friend Maria has recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. She now faces a long and challenging journey that will include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation treatment.

Anyone who knows Maria knows she is one of the kindest, most caring people you could ever meet. She has always been there for others, and now it's our turn to be there for her.

Maria and her husband are raising three wonderful boys, and with treatment ahead, she will be unable to work for some time. The financial pressure on the family will be significant as they focus on what matters most, Maria's health and recovery.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the burden and allow Maria and her family to focus on getting through this difficult time together.

As an added incentive and show of solidarity, I'll be shaving my head to help raise funds and support Maria on her journey.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Together, we can help make a difference for Maria and her family. ❤️
