Help 4 Angeline

$2,150 donated

My sister Angeline is facing the toughest battle of her life. She is 45 years old and has 3 young boys. Please Give a Little to help them.

Auckland

Angeline has been diagnosed as 'terminal' with a tumor in her brain, and cancer on her lung.

Angeline has always taken care of herself and enjoys music, kapa haka, good food, friends and team sports. She is beautiful inside and out, with a calm, wise, positive outlook on life.

Angeline is the mother of four gorgeous sons aged 27,17,15 and 6yrs, and two precious grandsons.

They are her world.

She has no current income as she has had to give up her job suddenly to concentrate on her treatment. She has no life insurance and has exhausted all her funds from savings to kiwisaver over this time.

Angeline has such a positive outlook, she has so much to live for. She is determined to beat this but needs our help.

2. Four years ago Angeline was diagnosed with Adenocarcineoma of the lung. She followed her treatment plan strictly, and had seemingly 'won' the battle. She got on with her life and was in remission for three years (although sometimes experiencing painful side effects from her treatment).

Three months ago, as she was experiencing pain in her right shoulder, her voice became raspy, she went for a thorough check-up. It was then she was given the devastating news the cancer was back, in the form of a brain tumour, and was also spreading from her lung to her abdominal area.

Her children and grandchildren are the light of her life and give Mum/Nana the strength to fight against this horrible disease. Please consider 'giving a little' to help our beautiful sister Mum Nana Aunty cousin and friend.

Aroha Ruka's involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because my sister has no other family in Australia. My sister is now very sick and weak and is in desperate need of support.

Use of funds

Angeline is determined to fight to prolong her life. She has started medicinal marijuana. The cost is $350 per month. Recently Ange had brain surgery to remove the tumour at the base of her brain and completed three days of radiation. This week will undergo chemotherapy, once a week. Ange needs your support to cover medical expenses as well as daily living costs.
