Help Fiona and family through cancer

$3,025 donated
Given by 32 generous donors in around 8 months

Help Fiona and her family to be able to afford a cleaner, higher heating bills and anything else they need while she fights breast cancer.

Canterbury

Fiona was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 invasive breast cancer.

She is undergoing chemotherapy and will also be having a mastectomy. Because of that it would be helpful for both her and Ben to be able to have a regular weekly cleaner, and also to have some help for the childcare bills as both of her boys - 3.5yrs and 10months old are in full time care while Fiona undergoes her treatment and recovery.

Ben is self employed so this means he is limited as to how much time he can take off, so any funds saved will help the family in so many ways.

If you feel like you want to help them but just don't know how, or maybe you live out of Chch and it's a bit hard to help, then this is how you can help hugely.

Andrea Blower's involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because Fiona and Ben are amazing people who have the sweetest wee boys.

Fiona's not one to ask for help, so this is where I'm stepping in :)

It's cruel that they have been dealt this illness, and as a long time good friend of Fionas I'm supporting her anyway I can

Use of funds

Fiona and Ben will use the funds towards the following:

Housekeeper

Heating bills as Fiona will be feeling the cold

Some family time

Anything else which is related to the battle they are now facing.
