Jo is battling Hodgkin Lymphoma and needs to focus on her recovery, not the financial struggles of being a small business owner.
Christchurch, Canterbury
Jo has been diagnosed with Stage 2A Hodgkin Lymphoma and is facing a tough road ahead. Over the next four months, she will undergo intensive chemotherapy and radiation every two weeks.
Beyond the physical and emotional toll of the disease and treatment, Jo faces another challenge - she is the sole owner and operator of her hairdressing business and won’t have the safety net of paid sick leave. She still needs to cover her mortgage, daily expenses, and support her family, even when chemotherapy leaves her physically drained.
If you know Jo, you’ll know she’s the epitome of hard work and resilience - normally working 11-hour days, six days a week, and rarely taking time off. Her energy, warmth, and positivity touch everyone around her - friends, family, and the hundreds of clients who rely on her.
Now, it’s our turn to show up for her so she can focus on what truly matters right now - getting better and kicking cancer’s butt.
By donating, you're helping Jo focus on her treatment and recovery, without the constant worry of how to pay the bills. Your support will give her the time and space to heal, giving her the best chance to beat this and come back stronger.
Jo means so much to so many people - let's show her how much she’s appreciated. Together, we can make sure she feels the love and support of the community she’s always given so much to.
Every little bit counts, and no contribution is too small. Let’s make a difference for Jo when she needs us most.

All money will be used for Jo's mortgage, general bills, groceries and day to day expenses. The money will make up for what she'll lose during her treatment and recovery.
