Hey guys my mother was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer in 2014 she passed away this year.

Auckland

This page is for my mother to help pay for her funeral/tangi costs. Pania Josephine Te Tua, was a mother of six before she fell terminally ill with cancer she was a free loving spirit very social,loved to travel and meet new people. My mother had already beaten cervical cancer in 2005, but sadly in 2014 she was then diagnosed with stage 4 lymphatic cancer, she went and done MRI tests chemotherapy radiation she spent a good portion of her last few years in and out of hospital, she made a few friends in that time with other patients.

I remember her telling me about a young 19 year old who was quite fit and healthy and he was a aspiring league player he was asked to do bone marrow transplant but passed away so when she was asked she said no as she knew her health age weight would defiantly not make it.

End of 2015 my mother decided she was not going to carry on doing chemo as her specialist said there was no point in her doing that anymore, as it wasn't helping her cancer. She was happy with decision as she was over being a pin cushion and feeling nauseous all the time.

My mother had accepted death and that the good lord would take her when he wanted her to take her home.

In 2016 she slowly started to deteriorate to the point she couldn't walk, she was a stubborn soul did not want to burden any of her family with having to look after her so she opted to stay in hospital even if it meant to stay in an elderly home much to my dismay.

In 2016 me and my sons went and flew down to the south island to be by mum as she had been given 3-6 months to live.

Just before 2016 Christmas she asked the hospital if she could be transferred to Taupo so she could be by her father who is buried at my whanau marae in Maroa. So that we wouldn't be stressing about how we were all going to get her to her final resting spot.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away in Rotorua hospital this year jan and hadnt gotten around to sorting her funeral costs out.

Any donations will be gratefully appreciated and we will be forever thankful god bless! :D

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.
