Raising funds to support Renee, a beloved mother, dancer and friend, through her liver transplant journey and fight for her life.
Auckland
If you know Renee, you know movement has always been part of who she is. She is a dancer, a devoted mother, a beloved friend, and someone who has spent her life bringing energy, laughter and light to everyone around her.
Many of you know Renee has battled Lupus for over a decade, carrying that fight quietly. But over the past 9 to 12 months her health has declined in ways impossible to ignore, and the past couple of months have taken a dangerous, frightening turn.
Renee is now facing the fight of her life. She has advanced liver disease and urgently needs a liver transplant. Renee is a Kiwi who has been living in California, USA since 2002, and the healthcare system there is complex. Although she has medical insurance, it doesn't cover everything, and some of the care she urgently needs to save her life comes with long waitlists and significant out of pocket costs.
Renee is also a mother to her beautiful daughter, Eden. More than anything, we want to give Eden the chance to grow up with her Mom, and give Renee the chance to raise her.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you can't donate, please share her story instead, every share helps us reach someone who might be able to help.
We want to see Renee healthy. We want to see her laughing. We want to see her being Mom. We want to see her dance again.
It's our turn to give some of that light back to Renee. Thank you for loving her, sharing her story, and helping carry her through this. ❤️
I'm Amanda, and like many of you - am one of Renee's lifelong childhood friends. We grew up dancing together, traveling the country and world for competitions, and our families became like one big extended family along the way.
Donations will go toward medical expenses, treatment and recovery costs, transportation, and everyday living costs while Renee is unable to work in the USA.
