Sonia’s cancer drug is unfunded and she needs your help.
Glen Eden, Auckland
Our beloved Sonia has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Her previous cancer has returned and spread to the linings of her heart and lungs.
To give Sonia the best chance of staying with us longer, she requires both chemotherapy and an immunotherapy treatment that is unfortunately unfunded. This immunotherapy, if successful, will have better and longer lasting results than chemotherapy.
The treatment is called Pembrolizumab, costs $10,500 per session and Sonia will need at least 5 sessions to determine its effectiveness. The total cost could reach approximately $110,000 if the initial treatments prove successful.
Sonia can fund part of the treatment herself, but we are seeking help to fund the remainder.
People have expressed a desire to assist, and contributing to this treatment is one meaningful way to support her. Sonia is loved by so many and is always there for others and willing to help, so we want to ensure that anyone who wishes to help her can do so. We also completely understand if financial contributions aren't possible and want everyone to know that messages of support or positivity are also greatly appreciated.
Once her chemotherapy is complete, we hope Sonia can fulfil her dream of a holiday in the summer sun next year.
Please consider donating any amount you can to help her reach this goal - Sonia, her family & friends will be forever grateful.
Sonia is one of The Fab 5, a group of friends that are as close as sisters.

We have had such an amazing response from people so we’re updating the goal amount to pay for another round of immunotherapy.
