Support Joanna on her healing journey

Canterbury

A year ago, my mother, Joanna, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Despite extensive treatment, the cancer has returned, and the treatments are expensive and beginning to compound on her and her family financially.

After fighting cancer surgery, and many rounds of chemotherapy, she vows she is only alive because of the additional support she gives her body through many supplements and alternative treatments. These treatments are not cheap, and Joanna needs our help to raise funds to support her journey to healing and recovery.

With the recent recurrence of the cancer, and facing fewer treatment options, Joanna is seeking more alternative options, such as purchasing a Rife machine, a machine that helps kill the cancer cells, IV Vitamin C Infusions, and various supplements that nurture the body. This is not publicly funded and has to be paid for privately. Last year Joanna was also made redundant, and only her husband supports the family of 4 financially. With extended family overseas in Poland, she needs your help.

Our small family needs her, every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support in helping my mum. Your kindness will continue to shine hope and healing on Joanna’s life.

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.
