F*CK Cancer – Help Jessica Fight Hodgkin Lymphoma

$27,869 of $50,000 goal
Given by 137 generous donors in around 3 months

Fundraiser to support Jessica, a nurse battling Hodgkin Lymphoma, with living and treatment costs while she is unable to work.

Matamata, Waikato

Jessica has recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer that affects just 120 New Zealanders each year.

As a Registered Nurse, Jessica has spent her career caring for others – now it's our turn to care for her. Treatment is intensive, and Jessica is currently unable to work while she focuses on fighting this illness and healing.

She’s strong, brave, and has a heart of gold – let’s show her how loved and supported she truly is.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💜

Jessica is my little sister, and she means everything to us.

Use of funds

We’re raising funds to help cover the essentials: their mortgage, everyday living costs, and if she requires unfunded treatment in the future which will be determined by her Oncologist – so Jessica and her family can focus on what truly matters: getting her well again.

If we pursue unfunded treatment, we will post an update with more details in the future.
