Wendy Apiata has cancer-Time is precious. Please help her family cope while they spend this time with her acquiring lifetime memories

Northland

For the last couple of years, Wendy has had ongoing health issues with debilitating back and neck pain and periods of total black-out where she would wake up on the floor with no idea how she got there. This left her homebound for 95% of the time and when she went out, she used crutches or a wheelchair with prescription painkillers to dull the pain.

In the first four months of this year, her condition escalated. She was continually visiting A & E at the local hospital with excruciating abdominal pain, given pain relief and then sent home.

Two months ago, after spending 3 days & nights in extreme pain, with little or no sleep, her partner, Nicky George, rang the ambulance. After all the tests she had, it was discovered that Wendy has advanced cancer which is terminal.

Tiana Poharama's involvement (page creator)

I am Wendy & Nick's niece and I would like to help ease some of the burden whilst they care for Aunty.

Use of funds

Nick has taken leave from his job to be Wendy’s primary caregiver.

We are seeking financial help for Nick and his 2 children to help meet their ongoing costs and to help renovate their bathroom so they are able to shower Wendy.

Please help Nick and his family care for Wendy with peace of mind during these precious times.
