Give Lyre a second chance in life...

Auckland

Like many, Lyre’s colorectal cancer diagnosis was a shock, but she’s facing it with unwavering bravery. Despite the challenges of treatment, she still works as a Health Care Assistant doing night shift in a rest home, radiating positivity and inspiring everyone around her. After a round of treatment, the disease has spread to her whole abdomen and to her lower chest cavity, making surgery unlikely.

Lyre’s determination grows with every chemotherapy session. She focuses on the beauty of life, finding solace in nature and loved ones. Her courage is contagious, reminding us that even in darkness, hope can shine through.

Your support can help Lyre access the treatment she needs to fight for her life. As her current chemotherapy isn’t working, new option such as Dendritic cell (DC) therapy is crucial as it cost roughly around $47,000 nzd (not government funded). Every contribution, big or small, brings her closer to a second chance in life. To watch her daughter get married or get old with her husband or being a grandma to her future grandkids. Please consider donating and help Lyre spread hope, not cancer.

Together, we can make a difference and give Lyre the chance to live life to the fullest. Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.
