Help Kim Fight Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma Cancer
Kim is facing the toughest battle of her life. She has Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma and urgently needs treatment that isn’t funded in New Zealand. With your support she would have access to the Ipilimumab and Nivolumab treatment protocol which is more effective in treating the type of cancer she has. The cost is $60000 for 4 cycles of treatment starting immediately and we’re rallying together to get her the care she deserves.
If you’ve ever met Kim, you know she’s an incredible human—warm, generous, funny, and the heart of every space she’s been in. She’s spent years managing cafés and restaurants in Auckland and around the world, creating connections and lifting others up. Now, it’s our turn to support her.
Every donation, big or small, brings Kim closer to this much needed treatment. Let’s stand with her in this fight. 💛
