Iris has stage 4 brain cancer, please help her cover her funeral costs.
Northland
Iris Tomuri-Dinsdale is 58 years old and has been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Iris would like to organize and pay for her funeral so that her 65 year old husband isn't left with a debt.
Iris was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019 and was given 5 years to live. She recieved chemotherapy & radiation but now the cancer has metastasized to her brain.
Iris has undergone brain surgery twice and has had 2 tumours removed. The second operation left her partially paralysed making it impossible for Iris to return to work. Unfortunately the tumours have grown back more aggressive and numerous than before and now there is nothing more the public health system can do for her.
Iris is a strong, independent woman who doesn't like to ask for help and the fact that she is about to burden her husband with a debt is troubling her greatly. She would like to organize her funeral before her rapidly declining cognitive function makes it impossible to do so.
Iris doesn't want anything fancy, the cheapest quote was $5500.
Please help us give Iris some peace of mind. Anything donated will be greatly appreciated and a huge help.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. From the Tomuri, Dinsdale, McEwen, Hoban family.
The beneficiary is my mother.
Funds raised will be used to pay for a basic funeral package, flowers and food. Any funds left over will be donated to another givealittle cause, on behalf of Iris.
Thank you with all our heart. 18 March 2021

Our family is blown away by the abundance of generosity. We are so blessed to live in a country fulI of so many compassionate people and we wish we could thank every one of you personally.
Your donation, wether it was $1 or $1000, has deeply touched our hearts forever. We feel the love.
Iris is on the last stretch now and words can't express the weight that has been lifted. Our family can finally afford to come together and enjoy the time we have left with Iris knowing she will get the send off she truly wants and deserves.
We will never forget the overwhelming aroha of friends, family and strangers that has helped carry us through these difficult times.
Our sincerest love and blessings to each and every one of you. 💖
