Funding Keytruda for Pene

$11,860 of $10,000 goal
Given by 41 generous donors in 8 weeks

Helping out a friend who has quite a struggle ahead.

Whangarei, Northland

Pene has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is to be on chemotherapy for 6 months. In addition she is also having Keytruda an unfunded (for this type of cancer) immunotherapy drug. She started on it this week. Keytruda will be funded for some individuals from October but her Oncologist said for best results she needs to start immediately. This means she has to self fund for 3 months. The cost for these 3 months is $50,000.

I have started this page to hopefully help out and lessen this rather large amount.

If anyone is able to help with this fundraising effort, even if its a small donation, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation to you all.
