Get Shayla to Mothers Day!!

Nationwide

Cancer is cruel and when it is rare and aggressive the only wish is to have more time ... time for your family to make memories. That's what this post is about. In a matter of months my neice Shayla Chan has gone from having the future full of possibilities to being given a time limit that robs her parents of their only daughter and her 7 year old daughter of her Mum (the anchor in her life). Everyone else - her brother, her extended family and her friends are shocked at the aggressiveness of this cancer. So we are trying to raise money to extend her time.

$8,000 This is what the 3 week course of the unfunded drug will cost. More details about her meds are still to come, but we understand the drug is called Keytruda.

Please support Shayla and her family to have more time. Please let Ems have her mum for Easter and Mothers Day.

Thank for reading this far ❤❤❤

Shayla is my cheeky, funny and beautiful neice. A stunning red head that dazzles everyone who knows her. She's stubborn and a fighter. The best neice an Aunty can have.

Use of funds

The unfunded drug Rotorua Hospital Oncologists want to use (Keytruda) costs $8k every 3 weeks for 1 session. They want to do 4 sessions.

Funds to go Shayla's dad Des
