The fight of Kirsty's life - cancer fundraiser

$11,700 donated
Given by 144 generous donors in 9 weeks

Fundraiser for a family tragically effected by cancer.

Nationwide

Kia ora. This is Kirsty and Sam.

Kirsty is the mother of Sam, who is 10 years old. She has been diagnosed with Double Hit Lymphoma, and sadly there are no guarantees of survival.

Tragically, Kirsty and Sam lost Sam's father to cancer less than two years ago. Now his mum, Kirsty has been diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. It's heartbreaking.

Kirsty is unable to work due to her illness, and the chemotherapy treatment is making her very sick. As much as Kirsty hates to ask, she desperately needs help to pay for the costs of treatment and day to day living expenses for her and Sam.

Kirsty refuses to take this lying down, and is doing her very best to play the bad hand of cards that she has been dealt with resilience and a positive attitude. The stress of money (or lack of it) is making her as anxious than the cancer itself. Kirsty has never been a taker, but now more than ever, she desperately needs help.

Any donations would be gratefully received.
