Help Candice and her family manage during this tough time as she recovers from a stroke.

Bay of Plenty

While milking on the evening of Sunday 15th March, Candice Tangney suffered a massive stroke. Luckily her husband, Mark, had come down to give her a hand and she collapsed right in front of him. She was rushed to the hospital and has since undergone numerous checks, scans and blood tests to find the cause of the stroke, which has left her paralysed down her left side.

At this stage the specialists think she may have a hole in her heart but are running more tests to confirm. At just 35 years of age, this has obviously come as an immense shock to her and her family.

Understandably, this is an extremely trying time for Candice, Mark and their 2 sons, Riley (15) and Oscar (almost 2).

On behalf of their family, friends and colleagues, we would like to try and help out with their day to day expenses so Mark can focus on helping Candice to a speedy recovery.

Please help ease the financial burden for this awesome family by donating now. Thank you so much.

Claire and Jamie Lowe's involvement (page creator)

With her selfless, kind-hearted nature, Candice has always gone above and beyond for all her friends and family and now we would like to repay her kindness. There are so many of her family, friends and colleagues who would love to help in one way or another and we feel this is the perfect way to do it.
