Help Lilith Fight Stage 4 Wilms Tumour

Oxford, Canterbury

Lilith is facing a battle no child should have to endure. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Wilms Tumour, a rare & aggressive form of kidney cancer, she has already shown incredible strength + resilience. However, the road ahead is long and challenging, with months of intensive chemotherapy, hospital stays, and countless treatments.

Lilith’s mum Grace has been by her side every step of the way, but the emotional and financial toll is immense. Between hospital visits, specialist appointments + the need to create a safe and comfortable environment at home, the expenses are quickly piling up.

1. Medical Equipment & Home Care

Includes medical supplies, mobility aids + other essential items to ensure she can be as comfortable as possible during her recovery.

2. Reliable Transport

The family car is nearing the end of its life. A reliable vehicle is critical to ensure Lilith can get to her treatments safely + on time, without adding more stress to their already difficult situation.

3. Tiny Home

Lilith’s weakened immune system makes her highly susceptible to infections. Her mum is working towards setting up a tiny home with purified air, providing a clean, safe space where Lilith can recover & heal without the risk of further complications.

Every dollar raised will go directly towards supporting Lilith & Grace on this journey. Your contribution, big or small, will help ease the financial burden + allow Grace to focus on what matters most—giving Lilith the care, love & support she needs to beat this.

Lilith Update – May 2026  23 May 2026

It’s been over 7 months since our last update, so I wanted to share where Lilith’s at now.

Her most recent CT scan came back with mostly positive results, which we’re so grateful for. She has another scan next week, with results due mid-June. This time we’re mainly looking at the node in Lilith’s lungs and double-checking one specific node that was questioned during her last scan.

In the meantime, life has started to feel a bit more normal. Lilith is back at pre-school and will be starting dance classes soon. Her hair has grown so fast — and yes, she’s still got those beautiful curls!

She’s grown so much in height and in confidence. I’m still in awe of the difference between the wee 2-year-old who wiped my tears in the emergency room, and the nearly school-aged girl we see today — ready to take on the world.

Ringing the bell:

During this time, Lilith got to ring the bell, symbolizing the end of her treatment. The poem she read was:

This was a moment I wasn’t sure Lilith would get to enjoy, so helping her reach the bell as she rang it three times loudly is something I’ll never forget. There wasn’t a dry eye on the ward.

We’re heading over to Australia just before her results come in. It’ll be a much-needed chance to make some happy memories together as a family while we wait.

Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with us. Every message, donation, and share means more than we can say.

We’ll update again after her June results.

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.
