Jean's Fight to Live

Our dear Mama, Jean (who is based in the Philippines), was diagnosed with Stage 3C Endometrial Cancer and going through a rough health battle. Despite a surgery, 6 weeks of chemo and radiation, the cancer had spread to her peritoneum and abdomen. A much stronger dose of second line chemo is given to her every three weeks. On Matariki, she was rushed to emergency. She had severe dehydration and infection due to the chemo adverse effects- all the lab results came back critical and the doctors advised us to prepare for the worst. Her medications cost $450 a day, the final bill, medical procedures, and doctors' fees are not yet accounted for. We were told she might stay for over three weeks up to a month. As much as we try our best to provide for her, I admit sadly, our resources are now almost exhausted.

I made this page so I could get additional funds for her hospitalisation and ongoing care. It can be difficult asking for help- but we want to provide her the best possible treatment. Her love ones are rallying around her, but the financial strain is becoming too much to bear.

Mama is a positive soul- she's a dog lover, and loved by many. She's been fighting a really good battle until this recent incident. She may not be here in NZ, but kindness transcends all borders. Please help me give Mama a chance to recover and continue her journey to getting better! Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in our lives. Thank you for sharing the Kiwi spirit!!
