*(not) DRUG MONEY

$37,908 donated
Given by 221 generous donors in around 6 months

help a human gem with the medical costs of fighting BRAIN CANCER.

Christchurch, Canterbury

GOT CANCER ON YOUR MIND? Henri does, literally!!! a close friend of many, loving (almost) husband to Anna and father of 2 year old Noa, Henri is facing a fight with brain cancer.

As a contractor, the hardship of treatment costs is exasperated by the inability to earn while undergoing said treatment. We at ABSOLUTION are doing what we can to raise awareness for brain cancer, as well as trying to raise some funds for Henri to help mitigate the financial stress incurred through his inability to work.

Although the drugs (temazolimide for chemo, and a variety of associated anti seizure/nausia etc) are funded, the associated costs of treatment such as prescription costs and doctors visits are not. All money kindly donated will go towards meeting these prescription costs and doctors visits, as well as meeting mortgage payments, childcare, groceries, petrol and so on. Obviously these all add up against a (now) single income young family.

There will be tattoo flash day at ABSOLUTION on SUNDAY 24 NOVEMBER, but don’t worry, all designs will be available indefinitely for those who can’t make the day. Of course if you don’t want a tattoo then there is still an option to contribute here if possible.

let’s get HENRI his *(not) DRUG MONEY.

absolution's involvement (page creator)

Henri and I (Naith, owner at absolution), have been friends for around 15 years. We have kicked around the same city, explored the same music and art scenes and been regular comrades in average chats and responsible alcoholic consumption.

Use of funds

Funds will go toward meeting treatment costs such as doctors visits and prescription fees, as well as enabling Henri and Anna to meet mortgage payments and day to day costs of living such as childcare.

Kia ora all, Henri here. Just an update on how things are going here. We have made it through the first week of treatment relatively unscathed. A minor blip of an overnight gastro bug but very little side effects thus far. It has been overwhelming and heartwarming to see the generosity shown on this page! Anna, Noa and I are beyond grateful to you all. Stay in touch x
