Our beautiful Haley was Diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic breast cancer in July 2021

With the help of generous people both here on Givealittle and privately Haley was able to make great gains in reducing or removing cancer cells heading for remission was the goal.

Our gorgeous bubbly full of life, love and positivity Haley never gave up. Was never negative, never gave in and did it all with a smile. Even when she shaved her hair during chemo!

However in March things took a turn suddenly and quickly and it’s with the heaviest of heart that we now let you know that our gorgeous ray of sunshine has just days to a couple of weeks left with us.

As you can imagine these coming days and weeks for Haley, Tony, Lauren, Rhys, Millie and their families are incredibly tough both emotionally, physically and financially and we ask that for now the family have privacy while they come to terms with this, family travel from America and spend these precious moments together.

Today though we ask you to forgo even 1 of your daily coffees or treats to help us raise as much as we can to provide what is needed in these last moments, to provide the farewell that Haley deserves and to provide the finances for Tony to remain off work while they come to terms with these next few months.

We say goodbye to our darling Haley 27 April 2024

On Friday 26th April at 10pm our beloved Haley passed away at Waipuna Hospice

in the arms of her darling husband Tony and with her precious Mom Kathryn by her side and her sisters listening in and praying

Words can’t describe how much we will miss Haley, the way she lit up every room with her big smile and infectious laugh, her cheeky banter and quick retort, her pure and infectious love of life, her ability to always say yes to adventure, her love for everyone around her and the compassion and empathy she showed us all. We are all better people for having known, loved and been loved by our ray of sunshine Haley.

Our deepest condolences and love go out to Tony, Noah, Lauren, Rhys & Millie. Jeff & Kathryn, Abbey & Marnie and their families. Rose & Loren, Jeremy and their families at this time.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your love and support, your prayers and memories that have given everyone strength over not just these past 2 weeks but since the beginning of this journey for Haley and Tony and their family. And to the team at Waipuna Hospice for their loving care of Haley and her family over these past weeks, they are angels.

Fly high our darling girl, you fought the most extraordinary battle right until the last moments, rest now wrapped in the arms of Christ with love and light from all those who loved you both here on earth and in heaven.

It’s not a goodbye dear Haley it’s a see you again soon x
