Help Christina Get Life-Changing Treatment

  • Another update!

      19 October 2026

    Mum’s T cells have officially been collected and are ready to be modified. ❤️

    She returned home this afternoon while the doctors work behind the scenes to prepare everything. The official cell transfer is now expected to take place in mid-November, when Mum will fly back to India. In the meantime, she’ll be receiving bridging treatment here in NZ.

    It’s so lovely to have her home for this little break. Thank you to those who have been checking in.

    We’ll share another update closer to the official transfer.

    The first week in India for Mum is officially complete. It’s been a busy week so far, with lots of tests, and preparations. The next big milestone is Monday, when the collection of Mum’s T-cells is due to take place. From there, we’re looking towards the official CAR-T procedure around the end of October.

  • Update on Mum

      5 September 2026

    After a lot of deliberating and difficult conversations, Mum has decided to get her CAR-T therapy in India. The price difference is significant, it will cost around $200,000 there, which is $160,000 less than it would be in China. India has also had positive remission rates.

    It’s looking like it will be in early October. Unfortunately, during the planning process, tumours were found that she needs to have radiation therapy on at home before she can have her CAR-T.

    Thank you for all of the love and support 🩵

  • Quick update!

      26 August 2026

    Kia ora everyone,

    Once again, thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared Mum’s story, or simply reached out with your support.

    A quick update:

    After further research, consultations, quotes, and speaking with people who have previously undergone CAR-T treatment, Mum has discovered that India may be another possible option for her treatment.

    There is still a lot to consider, and no decision has been made yet about where Mum will go. We simply wanted to keep everyone who has supported us updated and let you know that India is now another possibility on the horizon.

    We will share an update once the official choice is made.

    Thank you again for standing alongside Mum and our family through this journey. ❤️
