Given by 42 generous donors in 9 weeks

Please help Rosemary raise funds to access immediate unfunded treatment for Stage 4 Gastric Cancer.

Mangawhai, Northland

Setting up this page in support of our beautiful friend Rosemary 'Rah' Poolman, who at only 42yrs, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastric (Stomach) Cancer, after having only recently moved home from Australia to care for her own Mother who has Leukaemia. This is Rosemary's 2nd journey with Cancer after having survived Cervical Cancer, aged 21. Fiercely independent, she is usually on the other side of wrapping around people in need. This time she needs our help.

A single Mum to 15 year old Jayd, she also contributes so much to our local community and beyond. Those who know Rosemary will know what an incredible, selfless and generous person she is and the remarkable life of service she has led and wants to continue.

Rosemary is throwing everything she has at her recovery and is determined to be here for her family, friends and community.

As an avid natural health practitioner, Rosemary is urgently exploring all her options for treatment, both conventional and holistic. Unable to work, and without private insurance, she needs your help to raise the estimated $80k for urgent, unfunded and potentially lifesaving treatment. Funds will go towards genome testing and immunotherapy for this specific cancer, Ozone and Vit C infusions and intensive cleansing/fasting retreats.

We have no doubt Rosemary will approach this with 100% heart and the same determination she applies to everything. We are so grateful if you are able to support her and Jayd on this difficult journey.

Use of funds

Funds will be gratefully received and go towards urgent medical treatment, associated expenses (travel and living costs) and intensive natural protocol support.

Funds will either go towards Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab both are unfunded
