Please help us support my sister Joliene who has recently been in a medically induced coma, as a result of her battle with Lupus.

Canterbury, Ashburton District

I’ve started this givealittle page to help my Mum and I get to America to support my sister Joliene who has recently been in a medically induced coma, as a result of her battle with Lupus (an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack its own organs)

The money raised will also support her family with living costs and medical bills, as Joliene is still unable to return to work.

Update: as we have made it to America, all funds raised will go straight to Joliene and her family.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on our travel costs to USA as well as living and medical bills for Joliene

Thank you all  26 December 2022

There’s two days left to raise funds for Joliene and her family. Thank you to all those who have sent well wishes and have given, it is very much appreciated and will absolutely benefit Joliene.

We have visited Joliene and are now back in NZ. She is doing much better now and is at home with her family in the US, however there is still the recovery - both physically and monetarily (in the form of medical expenses, loss of earnings, and ongoing living expenses, to name a couple)

Feel free to share the page loud and wide

Aroha nui tātou, Much love to you all
