Help Joanne find a miracle

Timaru, Canterbury

Help Joanne fight hard against her cancer so she can watch her beautiful grandchildren grow up and create a bank of memories with them!

On the 12th of January, 2024, our beautiful mum was diagnosed with cancer around her pancreas. After 7 months of severe stomach pains, many tests and scans, doctors picked up on this rather late. We received the heartbreaking news that due to its size, it is inoperable and incurable.

Mum is undergoing a range of treatments both here in New Zealand and abroad.

These treatments consist of attending the private Brilin Clinic in Timaru, purchasing various health supplements, alternative therapies ie Te Kiri Gold, Vitamin C infusions (treatment every fortnight in Christchurch) and more.

Alongside conventional treatments, mum is going down the holistic route to try anything and everything to keep her going.

We are wanting to help our mum find the miracle we so desperately need.

Please help us not only try and extend the time that our mum does have, but to also improve the quality of life that’s remaining.

Joanne, along with her whanau, thank everyone for all of their love, support and prayers.

Joanne is my beautiful mother.

Use of funds

The money raised will be spent on private appointments, treatment costs, travel costs to see family overseas, living costs as mum can no longer work, and fuel costs for appointments all around the Canterbury region.

UPDATE!  7 April 2024

Mum recently had a bad reaction to chemo and became very unwell for a short while and ended up in hospital. It was heartbreaking to see and quite scary. Mum is finally back home in her own bed and currently recuperating to get strong enough to possibly have more, at a lower level. We are still looking into other avenues of treatment, we haven’t given up hope just yet!

We are spending quality time as a family, making memories and taking it a day at a time.

Once again, thankyou so much for all of your donations and support, it truly doesn’t go unnoticed. ❤️
