Fundraising for Helping Rachael out

Nelson / Tasman

One of my best friends Rachael is in End of Life, Palliative Hospice Care for Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa. Her body rejects most food making it hard for her to eat anything.

She is unable to work due to her condition so has extremely limited funds.

The main use of the money is for End of Life, Palliative Care - which means

pain management, keeping her comfortable in her surroundings and maintaining her dignity at an absolutely terrifying time.

Final funds update  13 July 2025

Hello All,

Due to plans unforeseen by myself and other close friends, sadly Rachael didn't get her funeral she had wanted. Therefore the funds have not been used for this, as Rachael and I had discussed and planned. As the friend she left in charge, I have made the decision to donate the funds to the Nelson Tasman Hospice, who kindly and compassionately cared for Rachael, until her last breath. If anyone opposes this decision there is a 7 day window to request a refund, there will be no judgement from me. I will be donating the funds next weekend in Rachaels memory. I know the hospice will be truly grateful for the generous donation. Rachael couldnt speak highly enough of all who took such good care of her there. Heartfelt thanks again for your kind donations.

May Rachael rest in the peace she so greatly deserves.
