Please help Karyn with her fight against breast cancer.
West Coast
A few months back Karyn went for a routine mammogram and thought nothing of it, until she received that dreaded phone call saying they had found a mass.
Fast forward a few months and Karyn has had an aggressively growing lump removed from her breast and she is now embarking on months of intense chemo and radiation.
The outlook for Karyn is good, but her and her awesome family are facing some tough times over the coming months. Karyn is the first to get out there and help others and her community, but she's not great at asking or accepting help for herself. Those who know her will understand it took a few of us to get her to agree to this.
In setting up this page I hope to raise funds to assist in their mounting travel costs and partial loss of income during treatment. We understand times are tough for some during this time of Covid, but if you do have a few spare dollars floating around to help this awesome lady and her family please know your donation is very much appreciated.
Karyn is my amazing younger sister who never asks for anything and is the first there to help others. Now I think she deserves a bit of help herself.
Funds will be used to help cover travel and living costs during treatment due to loss of income. Any surplus will be donated to the Cancer Society.
Radiation 22 June 2021
Today Karyn had her first session of radiation therapy. She will be in Christchurch away from her family on a weekly basis, going home on Fridays and heading back to Christchurch on Mondays.
This is the time that she really needs your help. She is getting half her wages covered while she's having treatment but along with only getting half her pay she also has the extra costs of being away from home. Any small donation will be very much appreciated during this time.
Your message will be displayed on the page and emailed to the donor.
Your new message will also be emailed to the donor.
