Helping Carrie

Carrie is working reduced hours at present as she still fights cervical cancer.

Canterbury

Carrie and her husband Glenn have pushed through the odds of predictions made by her medical team and continue to use a range of life style, and natural medicines and therapies

as western medicine has little to offer at this stage.

It is important for Carrie to work, but she has had to reduce her hours at work due to

chronic pain in her right leg which is making day to day things alot of us take for granted a real challenge as well as making some tasks simply unacheivable at this point in time.

The cost of fighting this battle is still taking a financial toll.

Some friends asked what we can do as we live away from Canterbury.

We would be only to happy to help out by visiting, doing laundry, gardening ,dropping in a meal or baking or helping out with transport. BUT we are just too far away to be able to do this but want to help!

Please donate the cost of the meal you would send them, travel costs you would spend or just on a regular basis the cost of a coffee you wont buy so that you are helping towards Carrie and Glenn's fuel, groceries etc to lighten the load.

If you can set up an event to fundraise a larger amount Thank you ! It may be a morning tea where you work, or something bigger!

Your previous donations have given Carrie many more months and many more precious memories.

Every little bit helps! Thank you !
