This page is set up to help support my mum with her unfunded immunotherapy medication for stage 4 lung cancer.

Auckland

27th of August, our world changed forever. My incredible mum got rushed to the hospital, later diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

I couldn't imagine life without this beautiful human being, not just because she's my mum, because she's my best friend, a soul mate, and my hero.

She is a much loved wife, sister, mum, friend, grandmother, and community hero. She is the heart and soul behind Saving Hope Foundation, which is her absolute passion. She, like anyone in this position, deserves to be supported in this stressful time.

The recommended course for her particular type of cancer is an expensive unfunded immunotherapy drug called Osimertinib at the cost of $100,000, and unfortunately, her insurance will not cover it as it hasn't received Pharmac approval.

She's not one to ask for help, but with everything she does for everyone else, and given the immense stress she is under, I'm going to do it for her. Because I don't believe anyone in this position should have to financially fight for their life.

Please support if you can. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

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.
