A fight to live.

Auckland

James (34 years of age) and Clara have only been married for 3 years and were looking forward to their happily ever after with kids. Being originally from Bangladesh, with no family, their world has been turned upside down when James was diagnosed with lung cancer (metastatic stage) in July 2025 . From then on it has been a battle. Together they are wanting to fight this sickness and for their marriage. He has been in and out of the hospital due to fluids filling in his lungs. He has already had 6 cycles of chemo and 6 cycles of immunotherapy. Though the treatment started working at first, it has now stopped working and started to regrow in other places. The Oncologist has suggested a targeted chemo therapy infusion (Trastuzumab Deruxtecan)that is not publicly funded and is expensive. It is going to cost him $150,000 - $200,000 in private practice. He will need 17 cycles for one year. He is still working but part time and hence any amount you donate goes towards his treatment and expenses. It also gives James a chance to fight......a fight for his health, his marriage and a fight against cancer.

All funds donated will be going to James and Clara's bank account.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
