Holley deserves to spend every moment enjoying her family...making memories with her babies and husband.

Waikato

6 years ago, gorgeous Holley married her Scottish prince Lee, having met him a few years earlier while on her big OE. They then flew back to Scotland to have another wedding with the Scottish family and friends. On returning to New Zealand, they settled in Hamilton and began their family, having their gorgeous daughter Kyla a little over 3 years ago. Recently they purchased their dream property on the outskirts of Hamilton and began to live the semi-rural dream. However, all that dream started to unravel when a few weeks ago, at 36 years young, and 32 weeks pregnant with number two, this beautiful family learned very suddenly, that Hollley has terminal and inoperable cancer.To say their lives shatteredmis an understatement. Holley was told that they can not cure her and that she has 2-4 months without treatment, but if they could shrink some of the 15 tumours oh her liver, then they could buy her a bit more time with her beautiful family.And so the journey started with a type of chemo that would not hurt the unborn bub. However not long after that treatment, bub decided to arrive 5 weeks early. The silver lining of that is that now real chemo can begin, but a baby in NICU, is hard on anyone, let alone someone battling for their life. This strong and courageous girl, with her equally strong and courageous husband are being robbed of years with their gorgeous family. Time is precious. Holley herself has said, I may not have quantity but I want quality...and so our quest to help them begins. They deserve to spend what time is left as a family...not worrying about how to pay the mortgage, but together, creating memories and spending time with their daughter and new born bub- before the chance disappears...orever. This family deserves that. Any funds we raise will help Lee to be able to have time off work to spend looking after his precious family, without worrying about the mounting bills...it will allow them to go and do things together...it will help pay the petrol to the never-ending appointments...it will help them have some precious time without feeling bad. It will help put a smile on their faces. If you can help this gorgeous family, then please do….and hug your loved ones close

Use of funds

Money will be spent on freeing up Lee and Holley up to enjoy what is left so the bills can still be paid. Any money left will help Lee be able to stay with the children when Holley's time has come- and cover funeral expenses.

Time to say Goodbye  30 July 2021

GIVE A LITTLE reminds me that in 6 short days... This page will close. As I look back through the video I first created when I set this page up, it is hard to believe that a year has flown by and so much has happened. I just wanted to thank you all for the way you rallied around Holley, Lee, Kyla. Jozef and the extended family... And helped them to create some fantastic memories. You kindness and generosity has never gone unnoticed nor unappreciated. As life continues in a state of grief.... Those close to Holley can take solace from the fact she is free from pain and while life is hard... So hard with out her.... That is something. In October Lee will take Kyla and Jozef to Scotland(and Holley will be hitching a ride in her very beautiful carriage) to meet the family and spend sometime healing further. I know we all wish them Safe travels and quality family time. And from me.... Thanks.... For the chance to help them.... And to those I got to know on this journey.. Keep safe and well yourselves.
