Help Amber cover living costs after brain cancer diagnosis

At the of September Amber suffered five seizures and was admitted to hospital via ambulance, where doctors found a cancerous tumour on her brain. She has been urgently scheduled for surgery and subsequent radiation therapy to fight this disease.

Amber is a self-employed home-based early childhood kaiako who up until last week spent her days caring for children. These children and their families love Amber with all their being which tells you a little about who she is.

Amber got married earlier this year to her best friend Richard. Three days before the first seizure she and Richard had just moved into their first home. Thankful to be in their own home, surrounded by sun and nature, they now face an uncertain future with mortgage repayments while living on a single salary. Amber is the most organised person but this was not in her budget! After surgery there is a risk of further seizures, and potential weakness through the treatment and eventual recovery process, and so we her friends would love to support her until she is again able to work.

This page has been set up due to numerous requests from family and friends as to how they can help support Amber at this time.
