Help Bridie In Her Fight Against Cancer

$8,981 donated

Bridie is fighting Stage 4 throat cancer and is presently unable to work whilst undergoing treatment.

Auckland

Bridie is married with two boys, one of whom is severely autistic and will always need to be in their care. Bridie has been diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer (she has never smoked).

She is self-employed and has been the main income-earner for her family. Since being diagnosed she is undergoing intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. This has left her unable to work and unlikely to be able to work for the next three months at least.

We would be grateful if colleagues and friends of Bridie could donate to this cause so that she is able to receive treatment and recuperate for the next three months without added financial strain and worry.

Any donation, however small would be greatly appreciated by Bridie and her family. Every little bit will greatly assist them and help Bridie in her fight against cancer.

Karen McQuinlan's involvement (page creator)

I am involved as I want Bridie to have the best chance of a recovery from cancer without worrying about paying the mortgage and household bills.

Hi There, I remember Bridie from many, many years ago,... singing and playing the bodhrán at the Auckland Irish Society. I just heard about her fight against cancer, and subsequently her 'givealittle' page, and thought I'd send a wee donation. I pray Bridie's treatment is a success. My regards to her friends and family. Cheers, Bernie Gallagher
