Help me help mum
A bit of help for Jimmy's mum.
Auckland
Recently mum (Claire O'Brien) was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and she is unable to work and lets just say the supported living payment is rather dismal and with me being the only one working I help as much as I can but she needs work done on her car to get to and from chemo and I don't want her to have to worry about money too. Any little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

Latest update
From Claire 18 February 2026
Hello Everybody, a little update. First, I want to say a huge thank you to my wonderful son, who set this page up for me. It's just my son and me at home, and he has been a rock for me throughout this diagnosis. To all those who have donated I cant thankyou enough. The page doesn't update the funds, but I've been able to access the funds early for bills, and I've managed to pay my bills, so that Jimmy and myself wont need to worry.
*update on my health..I had a blood transfusion after chemo on Monday, so hopefully it will kick-start my energy levels a bit. I like to think of it as a Red Bull for my entire body, but it was a surreal feeling, knowing that I had someone else's blood pumping through my veins that is helping me.. so please give blood when you can! only 15 more weeks of chemo ...then surgery, then radiation..I look forward to posting this update, cancer-free
