Emma’s Stage 3 Breast Cancer Battle

Emma was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, with localised lymph node involvement. Within 3 weeks of the diagnosis, she received a treatment plan of several months of TCHP chemo followed by a mastectomy and radiation.

She has been thrown from an extremely busy life running her business and being a solo mum to her boys, Frank (6) and Charlie (4), into starting the treatment plan straight away meaning financial support is immediately needed.

This family have recently gone through a very difficult time however they are happily settled in Devonport, where they feel safe and part of the community. They lost their home and much else during the last years and Emma is doing her best to remain strong, positive and has a clear vision of how to beat this cancer, while keeping the boys’ lives as normal as possible. Banded together, we also want to help keep this wonderful family in their rented home close to friends & family for support and in the village they so love.

Being a solo mum while receiving cancer treatment is going to be challenging, and Emma will not be able to work during this time. Additionally, the treatment plan involves unfunded chemo drugs that will cost upwards of $22,000. These pressures, along with unexpected healthcare & other related bills are making finances challenging. There is not enough income to cover all these unforeseen expenses, nor paid sick-leave.

Emma greatly appreciates any amount that you can spare to help them through this time.
