Like many people on this page, we started out with one very big hill to climb. Never did we imagine that in just 18 days, our goal would be smashed and Carlyn would have the green light to get the treatment she needs!
We did it. We did it because of YOU!
The outpouring of love and generosity shown at this time for Carlyn’s cause has been mind-blowing and will stay with us forever.
Friends have rallied behind her, friends of friends have joined in and complete strangers have completed this groundswell of support. From donating directly to the fund or starting their own mini fundraisers achieving significant donations along the way, we are forever touched by this positive and uplifting experience during a time of such uncertainty.
Yesterday the More FM Breakfast Club got behind Carlyn and showed the power of radio with its family of listeners donating the last $10,000 needed in just under an hour!
Carlyn’s cancer drug is capped at $60k meaning any additional treatment thereafter is free, minus hospital care costs which we’ll still need to pay should she need more of the drug.
With that in mind, the money that has been reached over and above the $87k ($60k treatment and $23k hospital care costs) will be kept in the kitty until such time we know Carlyn is in the clear and we’re not needing to dip back in for more hospital care. Should that be the case, Carlyn will be paying it forward to other Kiwis in need of funding support that could help save their lives.
Carlyn is empowered and ready to go kick this cancer to the curb thanks to you all rallying behind her!! xx
He aha te mea nui o te ao
What is the most important thing in the world?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
It is the people, it is the people, it is the people
