This page was created to help support our wonderful friends Leah, Chris and Eden, though Leah's cancer treatment. Thank you in advance.

Invercargill, Southland

This page has been created to help raise funds for Leah to get access to the right treatment for her second round of Melanoma and support her husband and daughter through this very difficult time for their family.

Our beautiful friend Leah was given the all clear 1 year ago but unfortunately this was not an all over body scan, just the area where she had had a tumour removed several years ago. Her cancer is back, aggressively and unfortunately insurance only covers so much of her treatment.

Leah and Chris have gone private as the wait time for her to be seen by a specialist was late March. Due to the nature of the cancer waiting is not an option.

It’s not cheap so we have created this page to ask for some help.

Leah currently can’t work and may not be able to return to work, so their family is down to one income and Chris juggling his full time position, their home, beautiful daughter Eden and supporting Leah is tough.

Leah is our beautiful friend, mum, wife and daughter and this is so unfair.

Use of funds

Money will be spent on unfunded treatments, travel, doctors visits, Living costs, and a nice meal out here and there if she can manage it.

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.
