Help Tanya Filia fund treatment for cancer

$2,100 donated
Given by 26 generous donors in 26 days

Please help Tanya and her whanau fund treatment for her brain cancer. This treatment has been imperative in Tanya's healing journey.

Nationwide

Tanya a former principal of a Hokianga School, was diagnosed with brain cancer more than 3 years ago. When traditional western medicine was no longer effective Tanya was given 2 months live. That was nearly 3 years ago. Tanya turned to natural medicine, traditional Maori medicine and Vitamin C treatment. This treatment has been imperative in Tanya's healing journey. As part of Tanya's healing journey she has started to campaign to government to make these alternative medicines funded. Tanya has been to government and screened a movie about her journey and this has begun to be screened throughout the North Island. She has also been on Te Karere and interviewed by various newspapers about the needs for those that have been given no options by western medicine.

Tanya has 4 beautiful girls and many friends and whanau that are blessed to have Tanya in their lives. Unfortunately this treatment is very expensive and as Tanya is no longer able to work - funds have run out. Please give generously to help raise funds so that Tanya can continue on her healing journey so she can continue to help others on theirs.

Sheree McCauley's involvement (page creator)

Tanya is a good friend of mine and I had the pleasure of working under Tanya Filia when she was a principal in the Hokianga and I was a teacher there. Tanya has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and needs help to fund treatment.

Use of funds

Money will go to towards funding Tanya's travel to Whangarei to get 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.
