Support for family as mum navigates Stage IV Melanoma

Canterbury

In December last year I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage II Melanoma on my forehead at age 38. After skin graft surgery to remove the Melanoma a PET scan has now discovered the cancer has spread to the lungs and is now Stage IV.

Throughout this journey my husband has been so supportive and has been the rock for our family. Due to surgery and immunotherapy treatment I have been unable to work, which like many families navigating cancer and the unexpected costs that arise associated with this, has put a massive strain on him to keep us afloat financially.

We know finances are tight for everyone but would greatly appreciate any support and prayers as we navigate our family through this.

Use of funds

travel, parking, unfunded prescriptions, and everyday living costs while ability to work is reduced during treatment.

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.
