After a lifetime of being a pillar of strength for others, Mary now needs our support as she faces incurable cancer with immense courage.
Auckland
Mary has been a pillar of strength for others. As a dedicated professional in the helping profession, she spent her career stepping into the critical moments of people's lives, offering support, empathy, and compassion when they needed it most. She has made countless individuals feel seen & valued. Now, life has presented her with the most challenging chapter of her own.
Mary has been diagnosed w/ incurable advanced ovarian cancer. She faces this with immense courage & a commitment to continue working and serving her community for as long as she is able, even while undergoing chemo in the hope of gaining a little more time. The reality of her diagnosis is forcing impossible choices. To attend treatments & manage her health, she has to reduce her working hours. She has exhausted all her leave & savings.
As a single person, the financial pressures are relentless- rent, bills, and treatment-related costs don't pause. Her greatest need is for stability & peace in this precious time.
Mary has given so much care and support to others, the time has come for us to surround her with that same care & support.
We want to say "thank you" for her lifetime of service by ensuring her remaining time is not shadowed by financial worry, but filled with dignity, comfort, & the best possible quality of life. Every single contribution will directly ease her burden and allow her to focus on what truly matters.
I am Mary's colleague and friend.
We are rallying around her to provide the financial support she needs to keep a roof over her head and pay utilities, cover ongoing bills, home payments, & unfunded medical expenses (GP visits, supportive therapies (hypnosis and oxygen therapy), and other unfunded care) and allow her to experience small joys that make each day meaningful & full of life (travel & accommodation).
