Help Holly fight Stage 4 Cancer

Help fund Holly's cancer treatment

Havelock North, Hawke's Bay

"In August 2023 my best-friend Holly, 25 y/o, found out her cancer had returned and metastasised in her pelvis/abdomen; now Stage 4 Melanoma. She was told, without treatment she had a fleeting 12 months to live.

Holly is her mothers (Fiona) only child. She is her main support and has been by her side every step of the way. Fiona is working tirelessly to support Holly through this devastating time.

Holly’s nature is an extraordinary influence to so many. She radiates kindness and compassion - always going above and beyond to help anybody, animal and being. The resilience she has shown to the challenges that have arisen is admirable. Even with all the hardships she has had to face she still exudes positivity and appreciation towards life. Between her daily pills and rounds of Immunotherapy (pembrolizimab) she continues to work her part-time job and create for her clothing label 'Olli'.

She's been undergoing treatment since September 2023 and is responding well but the ongoing costs are taking their toll. Unfortunately, Pharmac doesn't fund any of her other treatment options (BRAF inhibitors) and we will need to self fund treatment at $8800+ per month in the future. The reality of the financial burden ahead has become evident and without the support of our community these life-saving drugs will be inaccessible to Holly.

Holly is beyond deserving of more time. Her mum and her need your support. We are immensely grateful for any love or financial support you can offer, thank you x"

The final push!  20 July 2025

Hi everyone,

I’m writing on behalf of my best friend, Holly. She’s been going through cancer treatment for some time now and has come such a long way — but we’ve hit a wall and we still need to raise $8,000 to cover the remaining treatment costs. The financial burden this has been for Holly and her Mum has been immense and without this final push for $8,000, continuing this life saving treatment would be unfeasible.

This is essential for her to stay on the treatment that is working oh so well.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean the world to us. Times are hard and we understand this isn’t possible for all, so sharing this with others would still make a big difference. Every bit of support counts.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support in Holly's Journey.

Cait xx

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.
