Help Cindy Fight Brain Cancer

Wellington

In November 2024, my dear friend Cindy experienced a frightening health scare when she fainted unexpectedly. She was rushed to Hutt Hospital, where a CT scan revealed she had a brain tumour. Since then, Cindy has faced an incredible battle with courage and resilience.

By January 2025, she had begun chemotherapy, completing six cycles up to July 2025. During this time, Cindy travelled from her home in Greytown to Wellington Hospital each day for her treatments, often early in the morning. Finances added to her stress during an already challenging time.

Cindy received devastating news: her brain cancer is terminal. Despite this, she continues to undergo ongoing treatments to prolong her life and maintain her comfort. Her son has been her pillar of support, providing daily care—driving her to appointments, preparing meals, and ensuring she is as comfortable as possible.

Unable to work, Cindy and her son are now facing significant financial difficulties. Their current income is not enough to cover the ongoing associated costs around getting her treatment and daily necessities. They need our help to ease this burden and give Cindy the best quality of life possible during this difficult journey.

Your support can make a real difference. Thank you for your consideration.

Cindy and I were work collogues for about 10 years, which developed into a close friendship.

Use of funds

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
