Auckland

Melanie, known for her kindness, humor, and selflessness. As a devoted mother to her young son, Max, Mel has always put others before herself, brightening the lives of those around her with her generous spirit and infectious laughter.

Recently, Mel received a challenging diagnosis: Breast Cancer. This news has been a heavy blow, not just for her but for everyone who knows and loves her. Despite her own struggles, Mel remains focused on being there for Max and others, demonstrating her unwavering strength and resilience.

To help Mel navigate this difficult time, we are reaching out for your support. We aim to raise funds allowing Mel to concentrate on her recovery and her role as a loving mother without the added burden of financial stress. She will also have to work less, if at all, to recover physically.

Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant difference. By coming together to support Mel, we can ensure she receives the treatment she needs and show her the same care and kindness she has always extended to others. Let’s join forces to help Mel through this tough journey and give her the support she deserves.

Update from Mel  1 April 2025

Although it has been a tough journey with multiple complications, hospital trips and even an ambulance ride Mel wants to let you all know that she has received some amazing news. She has had a Pathological Complete Response (PCR) to chemotherapy which means she is now cancer free!! The best outcome Mel and the family could have ever wished for. She has also now completed surgery and is resting up before she finishes the last step which is radiation.

She wanted to thank you all so much for your generosity as because she was so sick from chemo she made the tough decision to give up working and your donations helped to let her just focus on fighting cancer.

There is still a little road to go in terms of recovery but Mel, Sam and Max are so excited for the future and are again so thankful for all of your support!
