Help Sala Fight for Her Future

Sala is fighting a severe form of ovarian cancer and needs life-saving surgery and ongoing treatment that she cannot access without help

Nelson

Sala is only 24 years old and facing a battle no one her age should have to fight. What began as sudden pain and discomfort turned into devastating news: she has a severe form of ovarian cancer that requires urgent, specialised surgery.

Doctors have been clear this surgery is not optional. It is her best chance at treatment and recovery. But the cost is overwhelming, with a minimum $30,000, and time is not on her side.

Despite everything, Sala has shown incredible strength. She is surrounded by love, holding onto hope, and doing everything she can to keep going through the fear and uncertainty. Right now, she needs help to access the treatment that could save her life.

Because Sala is a Fijian citizen, she is not currently entitled to publicly funded healthcare in New Zealand, despite all of her family living here and her ongoing efforts to obtain residency. This means every blood test, scan, and ongoing medical treatment comes at a significant cost.

The expenses don’t stop with surgery ongoing care and treatment could easily exceed $100,000. Sala needs our help to access the lifesaving medical care she urgently requires.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Sala one step closer to the surgery she desperately needs. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page can make just as much difference.

Please help give a young woman the chance to fight, to heal, and to have the future she deserves. 🤍

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.
