Debbie, with a heart of pure gold, needs our help. I love that now is a time that we can give back to her. Join me if you can xo

Bay of Plenty

My wonderful friend and hard working team member at The Healing Room has received news that no parent or person wants to hear in their lifetime. She has an aggressive form of breast cancer.

I know money isn't a high value to Deb and her family, and they would never ask for monetary help directly, but right now they need it. Deb wouldn't want a sob-story written, she is strong and could do this no doubt without our help. But life doesn't have to be hard, and if others have the money while someone doesn't, why can't we share and help each other?

If you want to help, I hope to raise money that will allow Deb to use any treatment she needs and chooses, fund Deb to potentially take the time away from work she needs, to support her & her family with good quality food and supplements & most importantly, to keep their roof over their heads.

Thank you so much for your kindness in reading this, any help for Deb and her family that you can provide will offer a security that I know will make all the difference to the shape of this health journey.

Debbie is first a friend but also a workmate, colleague and a huge part of my life. She is the kindest, most giving, most balanced person I could name, and deserves life to be easy for a while.

Use of funds

All the money will feed straight into Debbie and Rik's bank account to: use on treatment as they choose, fund Deb to potentially take the time away from work she needs, to support her & her family with good quality food & to keep a roof over their heads.
