Help Mandy and Callum fight Cancer

Nationwide

Callum is a bright and kind young man who has just turned 18, received the devastating news on his birthday—he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. This was supposed to be the start of an exciting new chapter in his life, but instead, he and his mother Mandy now face an unimaginable battle.

Mandy has been Callum’s rock, raising him as a single mother for 18 years. She has poured her heart and soul into giving him the best life possible, despite all the challenges life has thrown their way. Now, as she stands by Callum’s side during the most difficult fight of his life, she needs our help.

Chemotherapy is grueling, both physically and emotionally. Callum will need every ounce of strength to get through it, and Mandy is determined to give him the best possible care. This means providing him with the right supplements to ease the harsh effects of treatment and ensuring he has access to fresh, organic food that will nourish his body. But these essential supports come at a high cost—one that is far beyond what Mandy can manage alone, especially since she will have to stop working to care for Callum full-time.

In New Zealand, the cost of living is already overwhelming, and the benefits available barely cover the basics of daily life. Mandy is facing a mountain of expenses that no mother should ever have to bear alone.

We are asking for your kindness and generosity to help ease this burden. Every donation, no matter the size, will go to supporting Callum’s fight 🙏
