Give Kiri the gift of Time

Kiri is a 57-year-old terminal cancer warrior who is married with 2 children and 3 grandchildren. She is a bubbly, intelligent, & positive woman who is a keen gardener & talented in arts and crafts. She has a way about her that is calm and comforting, and an infectious grin.

Unfortunately, Kiri was diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2022, where the hospital told her there was no treatment available. Kiri did not accept this, transferring to St George's, and paying $70,000 to receive Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy until PHARMAC approved her treatment in January 2023.

In April 2024, Kiri was back in Christchurch Hospital, her treatment put on hold due to her diagnosis of a brain tumour and having to go under the knife twice to have it removed.

June 2024, Kiri has now ben diagnosed with a second brain tumor and awaiting a plan for treatment to remove it.

Kiri continues to live with a positive attitude & fighting spirit. However, PHARMAC refuse to fund the drug Pemetrexed due to a clause in their terms, stating she loses funding if the cancer spreads to another part of the body.

Kiri's Life insurance is only able to partially fund her immunotherapy that she needs to treat her lung cancer, and she and her family need help to fund the rest. This will cost her $617 per cycle.

Please give what you can, to support Kiri's battle with cancer, gifting her time with her family & friends to live her best life. Any support is much appreciated.

Please, share her page if you are able.
