Help Karen-Anne on her Journey with Cholangiocarcinoma

Wellington

We are reaching out to ask for your help and support on behalf of our lovely friend Karen-Anne, who we care deeply about. Karen-Anne was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer affecting the bile ducts, which came as a shock to all of us. Her cancer treatment has been a long and challenging journey, and she has been in and out of hospital many times over the past year. Now, she is in the palliative care phase of her treatment.

Many of you already know Karen-Anne: she genuinely is a kind-hearted person who is always there to lend a helping hand to those in need. Karen-Anne has contributed so much to others, from volunteering her time to help others at Lower Hutt hospital to supporting a surrogate Grandparents group in Wellington, with the aim of connecting families with Grandfriends in the community.

Now is the time to show our appreciation to Karen-Anne, who has given so much to others. We're setting up a Give a Little page to help her cover some of the costs of her medical expenses and expenses related to her treatment. We understand that a lot of us are facing difficult times, but any amount you can contribute will be invaluable in helping our friend during this critical time. Reducing the worry over finances will allow her to focus on more positive things and afford her time to do more fulfilling activities.

Please share this Give a Little page with your friends and family, and anyone else you think might be willing to contribute.

With a heavy heart   25 August 2023

We come to you today with heavy hearts to share an update on Karen-Anne. As many of you know, Karen-Anne has been bravely battling Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Unfortunately, a recent appointment with her medical team has revealed that Karen-Anne may only have a few months left to live. This news has come as a profound shock, as we had hoped for a different outcome. Karen-Anne has fought with incredible strength and determination and faced each hurdle with unwavering grace, inspiring those around her with her resilience. During this challenging time, our focus is on providing her with the support and love she deserves and making her remaining months as comfortable and meaningful as possible. We created a Give a Little page to assist with the financial burdens such as medical expenses, hospice care, and other related costs. Your generosity will enable Karen-Anne to prioritise her well-being and make the most of her remaining time with loved ones. Please share Karen-Anne's Give a Little page with your networks, both online and offline, so that we can widen our reach and maximize our support for her. Let us rally around Karen-Anne in this time of need, showering her with love, compassion, and solidarity. Together, we can provide her with the strength and comfort she deserves. We appreciate each and every one of you. With heartfelt gratitude, Karen-Anne's Supporters
