Hope for Samara, Strength and Support for her Family

Stand with Samara: Supporting Her Family Through Leukaemia

Less than a month ago, Samara—a loving wife, devoted mother of two children aged 12 and 14, and a truly kind and caring person—was suddenly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. In an instant, her family’s world was turned upside down.

Samara is now in Waikato Hospital receiving full-time care and has begun intensive chemotherapy. She faces at least six months of treatment, followed by many more months of recovery—a long, exhausting journey that no family should have to face alone.

Unable to work, Samara can no longer help provide for her family. Her husband runs a small family business in Tauranga and is working hard as their sole income earner, while also trying to be there for Samara and their children. Everyday bills continue, alongside the added cost of travelling to Waikato Hospital for precious family visits.

Samara would be the first to offer help, comfort or a donation to someone in need. Now it is our turn to wrap her family in that same love and support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial pressure so they can focus on what matters most: Samara’s treatment, recovery and time together as a family.
