Help Justine Access Vital Genetic Testing for Her Cancer Treatment

Auckland

In 2013, Justine’s life changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After treatment & the challenges that came with it, she fought hard, eventually returning to living a full & grateful life.

For more than 10 years, she believed that chapter was behind her.

Sadly, cancer has returned.

Receiving this news for a 2nd time has been incredibly difficult for Justine and those closest to her. Facing cancer once is overwhelming, facing it again brings a new wave of uncertainty, fear and difficult decisions about what comes next.

Right now, Justine’s doctors need more information to determine her next treatment option. A specialised multi-gene SA test can analyse the genetic profile of the cancer and provide insight into which treatment may be most effective moving forward.

Unfortunately, this test is not fully funded and comes with significant costs.

We have created this Givealittle page to help raise funds so Justine can access this test, giving her doctors the information they need to guide her next stage of treatment.

Anyone who knows Justine knows what a kind & caring person she is. She has always been there for others, offering support and kindness whenever it was needed.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help bring Justine closer to accessing this test. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean a great deal.

Thank you for supporting Justine during this incredibly difficult time and helping her take the next step in her fight.

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.
