Last chance at family memories - F&@k cancer

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Help Whitney and her wee family make memories while she can…

In Oct 2024 at the age of just 37, Whitney received the heartbreaking news we all dread - a cancer diagnosis.

In the last year she has fought every fight in front of her with huge strength and courage.

She’s been through numerous rounds of chemo, radiation, multiple surgeries with chemo just recently restarting.

After everything she’s been through in the last 17 months, she has received the awful news of the cancer continuing to spread and has been diagnosed as terminal.

Whitney has an 8yo and 13yo daughter she will be leaving behind, along with her husband Ben. We’re trying to make things as easy as possible financially for their wee family to make memories in the last of the unknown time she has.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
