Helping Sylvea in her double cancer journey

Auckland

End of September '25 my mum was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer and a few weeks later, Lung Cancer 💔

Today she and Pete were told of the treatment plan: Radiation, Chemo for the cervical cancer and then a potential wedge resection surgery for her lung cancer following that. This will start in 2-3 weeks.

This will involve 5-6 weeks of travelling from Patumahoe - Auckland Hospital 5 days a week.

They need help with travel to and from there during that time. With both being on the pension and not working currently, this stretches things a lot. Us kids help where we can and Tama and I are moving in with them in 2 weeks.

I have set up a give a little page to help with the travel costs so they can focus on the treatment and each other.

We appreciate any help that people can offer 💜

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.
