Mortgage freedom will alleviate my cancer diagnosis burden, giving our family long-term security.

Hamilton, Waikato

Hi

2021 a Glioblastoma, grade four diagnosis at aged 43 shattered my world. Given 12 months of life expectancy - still brings tears and fear. Married with four school aged children. I promised "I'd do anything, anything to have more time with them (husband and children)."

All donations will ensure the dream of mortgage freedom and alleviate my cancer diagnosis burden. With gratitude THANK YOU!

"I'd do anything..." So as a private person I humbly reach out, through givealittle, for a hand up.

My courage drawn from the sacrifices my husband and children make everyday, month and year to support my diagnosis journey. Although my mortality will haunt my thoughts, I truely understand how precious life is.

I want to live. I want to contribute. I want to be around for my family and care for future grandchildren! - this is what continues to get me through dreadful chemotherapy, radiation, medication treatments and regular monitoring procedures.

I appreciate my husband Wayne, everyday, for his love and commitment to managing utility bills, school/sport expenses, mortgage and council rates etc every month - juggling often, sacrificing all the time. So I could be at home or hospital, participate in a clinical trial, learn to walk and speak again, present at PREKURE forum or meet with glioblastoma patients; offering my experiences, advice and support on a shared focus to survive while loving life in each moment.

Your kind generosity helps making life memories the focus for the rest of my life.

Use of funds

Any funds raised will go to paying off home loan whether the target is met or not.

Ensuring my family's long-term security during life with brain cancer and after.

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.
