Help find out what's wrong with Hunter

Hawke's Bay

Hello

This year has been incredibly hard for our family. My sister, Linda, has been battling breast cancer, and the financial and emotional toll on her has been overwhelming. To add to the heartache, she recently had to say goodbye to her beloved family dog, Max.

Now, poor Hunter—Max’s daughter—is unwell. She’s had several vet visits, had X-rays, blood tests, and tried various medications, but we still don’t know what’s wrong with her. The vet suspects something serious and has recommended further investigations, but the cost is beyond what Linda can manage right now.

We’re reaching out because we’d be so grateful for any help to:

✅ Cover the cost of Hunter’s tests and treatment

✅ Ease the financial burden on my sister as she continues her own medical journey

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support. We’re so grateful to have people like you in our lives.
