Kate's Brave Cancer Journey ♥️

$22,711 donated
Given by 239 generous donors in 4 days

She has always been there for us, now it’s our turn to stand beside Kate and her beautiful family as they begin their journey together.

Riverhead, Auckland

Beautiful Mum to Mila, Sofia and Nico, wife to Ben, sister, daughter, and friend to many, is about to face the fight of her life. Kate has received the devastating news that she is in the beginning stages of what will be a long and challenging road ahead with a diagnosis of Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.

She is determined to face this with strength, courage, and a huge amount of bravery. Kate has the biggest heart, always a warm, welcoming smile, and is always the first one to lend a hand when needed, but this time it's our turn to help her and her family wherever we can.

To take the pressure off Kate and her family during this time, this page has been started to help with day-to-day living expenses, on going treatment costs and to take advantage of overseas treatments, giving Kate a fighter's chance. Whichever way you may choose to show your support, we know times are tough, so anything would be greatly appreciated (I.e. We have a chest freezer for frozen meals, which helps greatly with two hungry teens and a growing boy). Please private message for details.

Thank you for holding our precious Kate in your hearts and prayers, and for surrounding her family with love and strength.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Katy’s Family ❤️
